- No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity (h=0). Mechanistic data absent (m=0). Dermal absorption for large lipophilic esters is generally low (adult e judged negligible), but immature infant skin gives higher relative uptake, so exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (e=1). Sources (CosIng, PubChem) list as cosmetic emollient without reproductive flags.
