- No infant-specific hazard or mechanism evidence was found. Dermal absorption data for this ingredient were not identified; because it is a small lipophilic aromatic indenone derivative used topically and not demonstrated to be non-absorbable, I applied the protocol’s baby-skin exposure uplift (+1) to reflect higher potential exposure in 0–3 yr skin versus adults, while hazard/mechanism remain 0 in absence of data.
