Frequently asked questions
- Is butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were identified. While hazard and mechanism scores remain 0, exposure (e) is increased by +1 for baby skin because polymers with measurable (even low) potential for dermal uptake should be considered to have higher relative exposure in infants due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio; nevertheless overall systemic absorption is expected to be low.
