Frequently asked questions

Is dilinoleic acid/butanediol copolymer safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental/infant-specific hazard. Adult topical dermal absorption from a polymeric dilinoleic acid/butanediol copolymer is expected to be negligible (adult e = 0). Per instructions, because infants have a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and a less mature barrier, increase exposure score by +1 to e = 1 even though the substance shows low absorption; no infant-specific toxicity data were identified.
