Is dilauryl citrate safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific data. Dilauryl citrate is a relatively large esterified emollient agent (low intrinsic reactivity) with no published dermal systemic/toxicity signals; no harmonised classification or SCCS/CIR concerns. Dermal absorption data for adults or infants were not found, so default 'no evidence of hazard' is used. (No increase in exposure score applied due to absence of measurable absorption data.)
