Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated castor oil/sebacic acid copolymer safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of reproductive/endocrine findings. Exposure score increased to 1 for infants because baby skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; although the ingredient is high MW and expected to have low absorption, baby exposure is considered low-but-measurable compared with adults. Sources: CosIng (ingredient identity), PubChem (physicochemical/polymeric description), ECHA (no harmonised classification).
