Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate/dimethicone methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 because there is no evidence the polymer is a reproductive or developmental toxicant. Exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin because infant skin has higher per‑kg absorption and immature barrier; although the polymer itself is expected to have negligible dermal absorption, a conservative small measurable exposure rating is applied. If significant monomer residuals are present, exposure characterization would need specific data.
