Frequently asked questions
- Is decyl glucoside safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards reported (CIR; ECHA). Because decyl glucoside is a surfactant with some potential for dermal uptake and infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, exposure scoring is increased by +1 versus adult (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No evidence warrants increased hazard (h) or mechanism (m) scores for 0–3 yr. (Sources: CIR safety assessment; ECHA registration dossiers and absence of harmonised CLP; PubMed literature reviews.)
