Frequently asked questions
- Is dimethicone/polyglycerin-3 crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: adult topical dermal absorption is negligible for large silicone crosspolymers, but infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight — therefore exposure score increased by +1 for ages 0–3 despite low intrinsic absorption (CosIng, PubChem, general dermal absorption principles).
