Frequently asked questions
- Is disodium phosphate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific reproductive hazard. Dermal absorption of an inorganic, water‑soluble phosphate salt is expected to be minimal in adults; however, because infants (0–3 yr) have a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure potential is modestly higher — hence exposure score increased by +1 though no hazard or mechanism is indicated.
