Frequently asked questions
- Is citric acid/propylene glycol/succinic acid copolymer laurate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicology for the polymer was found. Because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and a more permeable barrier, I increased the exposure score by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No data were found that would increase hazard or mechanism scores for infants specifically.
