Frequently asked questions

Is adipic acid/ neopentyl glycol/ trimellitic anhydride copolymer safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or toxicokinetic data for the copolymer were identified. The copolymer is a high molecular weight polymer (typical for such polyester copolymers) and is expected to have negligible dermal absorption; therefore exposure for infants is considered negligible. Note: if significant residual monomer (trimellitic anhydride) remains in a formulation, that monomer is a respiratory sensitiser/irritant per ECHA Annex VI and would warrant formulation control.
Is adipic acid/ neopentyl glycol/ trimellitic anhydride copolymer safe for newborns?
No infant‑specific reproductive or toxicokinetic data for the copolymer were identified.
