Frequently asked questions
- Is cholesteryl nonanoate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants. Dermal absorption for large, lipophilic cholesterol esters is expected to be low (hence h=0, m=0). However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin (e=1). Sources: CosIng, PubChem; no ECHA harmonised flags.
