Frequently asked questions
- Is capryl/capramidopropyl betaine safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxic evidence. Because infant skin has an immature barrier and surface‑area‑to‑weight is higher, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2). CIR and ingredient databases do not flag developmental or endocrine effects for amidopropyl betaines; primary concerns reported in literature are irritancy/allergenicity for some betaines rather than reproductive toxicity. Sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem, ECHA (no harmonised CLP).
