Frequently asked questions

Is c10-18 triglycerides safe for baby skin?
No developmental hazard identified (h=0) and no known reproductive mechanism (m=0). Exposure (e) increased to 1 for infants because C10–18 triglycerides are moderately skin‑permeable emollients (not completely non‑absorbable) and infants have a thinner barrier/higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so dermal exposure is low but measurable compared with adults (sources: CosIng ingredient function and typical topical emollient behaviour; EWG ingredient profile; lack of adverse findings in safety dossiers).
