Frequently asked questions

Is distearoylethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Dermal exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low; however, infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so exposure potential is higher than adults (hence exposure score +1). No infant-specific absorption or toxicity studies were identified.
