Frequently asked questions

Is acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester safe for baby skin?
No specific developmental/toxicity data for infants. Adult hazard/mechanism remain 0. Exposure increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin because the ingredient is a lipophilic cetyl‑esterified peptide (not completely non‑absorbable), and infant skin has higher absorption/surface‑area:weight — thus adult e=0 → baby e=1 as per guidance. No data support raising hazard or mechanism scores for infants. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, EWG; no ECHA harmonised classification or SCCS/CIR concerns.)
Is acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester safe for newborns?
