Frequently asked questions
- Is dipentaerythrityl tetraisostearate safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/toxicity data for infants. Based on its use as a topical high‑molecular‑weight emollient (CosIng/PubChem) and lack of reproductive hazard flags, hazard and mechanism remain 0. Exposure score raised to 1 for baby skin because infant skin has higher permeability/surface‑area‑to‑weight, so absorption that is negligible in adults may be low but measurable in infants.
