Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer safe for baby skin?

The polymer is large and not expected to penetrate the skin; therefore exposure via topical use on infant skin is expected to be negligible. Per instructions, infant exposure was not increased because the adult exposure is considered negligible. Note: if a formulation contains measurable residual ethylhexyl acrylate monomer, infant exposure could be higher and would require assessment.
