Non toxic paint and baby

Hi

I used paint on my 7 month old baby to do some Halloween arts and crafts- handprints etc didn't think much of it but now I'm realising it should have been non toxic paint. It was just some ready mixed paint from the range and minimal info on the label, doesn't mention it being non toxic so I'm worried. Baby didn't eat the paint but was on her skin for a while

Presumably it was paint for children? If so I'm sure it's fine.

I don't think it was specifically for children. It was a set of premixed paints from a brand "crafty club" in the range

Just double checked on the website it says "for kids and adults alike"

The issue with toxic paints is prolonged exposure and ingestion. You are fine.

Thank you, makes me feel better, it was on babys skin for about 5 minutes if even
