Frequently asked questions
- Is diisopropyl sebacate safe for baby skin?
- No reproductive/teratogenic evidence found (h=0). Dermal irritation/sensitisation: CIR materials note a small number of case reports of allergic reactions to sebacate esters, including two case reports for diisopropyl sebacate, so sensitisation risk exists but is rare. Given measurable dermal absorption potential for small esters and immature infant barrier, exposure score increased to 1 for baby skin (per your instruction). No infant‑specific toxicity data identified. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/116_tent_sebaci_rev.pdf))
