Frequently asked questions

Is caprylyl 2-glyceryl ascorbate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive hazard or mechanism in the literature. Topical dermal absorption in adults is expected to be low; because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (from 0 to 1) reflecting measurable but low potential absorption. No infant‑specific adverse data identified.
