Frequently asked questions

Is behenyl pca safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants; hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 given absence of adverse data in regulatory and peer-reviewed sources. Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin because infant skin is more permeable and specific dermal absorption data for behenyl PCA are not available, so a small but measurable relative exposure cannot be excluded. (Sources: PubChem, CosIng, EWG summaries.)
