Frequently asked questions
- Is glyceryl myristate safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating increased hazard to infants; mechanism and hazard not identified in regulatory reviews. Because glyceryl myristate is a skin‑applied lipid ester with low but not zero dermal absorption, infant exposure potential is higher due to immature skin/barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin use (adult exposure considered negligible).
