Frequently asked questions
- Is glyceryl stearates safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of infant-specific reproductive or endocrine effects. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible for this high‑molecular weight, low‑volatile fatty ester (so adult e=0 per calibration), but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (0→1). Regulatory sources (CIR, CosIng, ECHA dossiers) do not flag safety concerns for infant topical use.
