Frequently asked questions
- Is disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulfonate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity data were located. The compound is a large, sulfonated optical brightener used in cleaning/paper/detergent contexts and has no harmonised reproductive classification; however dermal absorption data are sparse. Following the scoring rules, adult exposure is scored 0 (negligible evidence of dermal systemic availability), but baby exposure is increased to 1 because infant skin barrier immaturity could increase exposure if any measurable absorption occurs. (ECHA registration; PubChem; EPA/Comptox; EWG).
