VeriMomIs acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no reproductive or endocrine concerns). Exposure is increased to 1 for baby skin because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio; although adult dermal absorption is negligible for this high-MW polymer, infant exposure potential is therefore considered low but measurable (per scoring rules).
