A member asked:
Can the maltodextrin in my hair and skin products be absorbed into the body from the skin and cause blood sugar too rise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Despite the TV adds that tout "deep penetration" of various products, nothing you apply to the normal skin surface goes deep enough to enter your circulation. There are special chemicals that are in medication patches that transport meds through the skin, but these are not added to common skin or hair products.
