Frequently asked questions
- Is c20-24 alkyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is negligible (e=0) due to very high molecular weight and poor skin penetration; per instructions, increase exposure score by +1 for infants because immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio make low-but-measurable exposure plausible (e=1). Sources: CIR, SCCS/ECHA registration dossiers, general dermal absorption principles for high-MW silicones.
