Frequently asked questions

Is ethylene/methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
There are no infant-specific toxicity data or regulatory flags. Ethylene/methacrylate copolymers are high-molecular-weight, low-absorption polymers used as film formers (CosIng/PubChem), so exposure/absorption even on immature skin is expected to be negligible; therefore no increase in hazard or mechanism scores and exposure remains 0.
Is ethylene/methacrylate copolymer safe for newborns?
