Frequently asked questions
- Is c12-13 alkyl lactate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data identified. Given measurable dermal absorption in adults, infant skin (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight) justifies increasing exposure by +1 (from adult e=1 to e=2). No evidence supports increased hazard or a specific mechanism in infants. Sources: CosIng/PubChem (ingredient use), ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification); no CIR/SCCS infant-specific warnings found.
