Frequently asked questions

Is c18-36 acid glycol ester safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity. Dermal absorption for large, lipophilic esterified C18–36 materials is expected to be low for adults (rated e=0), but per protocol infant exposure score is increased by +1 due to immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure rated e=1. No infant‑specific studies identified.
