Frequently asked questions
- Is cellulose safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no reproductive or endocrine concerns). Exposure score increased to 1 because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, but cellulose's physicochemical properties (insoluble, large polymer) mean absorption remains very low—measurable exposure potential is low but greater than adult negligible absorption (sources: CosIng, PubChem, CIR).
- Is cellulose safe for newborns?
