Is bis-peg/ppg-16/16 peg/ppg-16/16 dimethicone safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanistic evidence absent for the ingredient itself. Exposure score increased by +1 relative to adult (e=1) because infant skin barrier immaturity and higher surface‑area‑to‑body‑weight make dermal uptake of materials that have any measurable absorption more likely. No infant‑specific reproductive or systemic toxicity data found. Sources: CosIng, general dermal absorption principles in SCCS/CIR guidance.
