Frequently asked questions
- Is c26-28 alkyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Mechanistic concerns not identified. Dermal absorption of high‑molecular‑weight silicones is negligible in adults, but infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier — therefore exposure score increased by +1 per instructions to reflect higher potential (still low overall). Dimethicone derivatives are widely used in baby products for barrier/emollient effects and are generally considered safe (sources: CIR, SCCS, CosIng, ECHA).
