Frequently asked questions
- Is glyceryl ethylhexanoate/stearate/adipate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. For exposure, infant skin has higher permeability; although these glyceride esters are not highly systemically bioavailable, a low but measurable dermal absorption for small lipophilic esters is plausible — so exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr. No infant-specific toxicity reports found (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA).
