Frequently asked questions
- Is glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate safe for baby skin?
- No data showing developmental or skin‑specific toxicity in infants. Mechanistic concerns are absent; however, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, a small increase in potential exposure is prudent (scored +1 exposure versus adults) despite the ingredient's low intrinsic dermal absorption. (Sources: CosIng/PubChem general ingredient properties; ECHA no harmonised repro classification.)
