VeriMomIs acrylates copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: although adult dermal absorption is negligible for high-MW acrylate copolymers, infant skin has higher permeability—so exposure is rated one step higher (e=1) for 0–3 yr due to increased skin permeability, despite no specific toxicological signals.
Also relevant: pregnancy safety
