Frequently asked questions
- Is behenylcarbamoylpropyl polysilsesquioxane safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicology located. The substance is a high‑molecular‑weight polysilsesquioxane derivative used as a film/texture agent in color cosmetics; no absorption or dermal‑toxicity studies were found. Following the scoring rules, hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence), but exposure for baby skin is increased to 1 because infant skin has a less mature barrier and the ingredient is not demonstrably completely non‑absorbable.
