Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated palm kernel glycerides safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating developmental toxicity in infants; hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data. Absorption of large glycerides through intact adult skin is minimal (adult exposure considered negligible), but infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio so exposure score increased by +1 despite no evidence of hazard. No infant-specific adverse reports in reviewed regulatory/safety databases.
