- Is diphenyl dimethicone/vinyl diphenyl dimethicone/silsesquioxane crosspolymer safe for baby skin?

Per scoring rules, adult exposure is negligible so infant exposure remains scored as negligible. Increased exposure due to immature skin was considered but no data indicate measurable absorption from this polymer, so exposure score remains 0.
