Frequently asked questions

Is c11-12 isoparaffin safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity. Because C11‑12 isoparaffin is a low‑polarity hydrocarbon with limited reported dermal absorption in adults (ECHA/PubChem/CosIng listings) but infant skin has higher permeability, I increase exposure score by one for babies; there is still no data indicating a reproductive/ developmental hazard.
