Frequently asked questions
- Is coco-betaine safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Mechanistic evidence absent. Exposure rating increased by +1 for infant skin because coco‑betaine is a surfactant with potential for low but measurable dermal absorption and infants have a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier; primary risk for babies is local irritation or sensitisation rather than systemic developmental effects (sources: CIR, ECHA, CosIng, EWG).
