Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/stearyl methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found and no regulatory flags. Exposure: adult dermal systemic absorption is expected to be negligible for this high‑MW polymer, so adult e=0; infant skin has higher permeability so exposure score increased by +1 (per scoring rules) to e=1. No data indicate significant percutaneous absorption or systemic bioavailability in infants.
