Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated polydecene safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard in infants. Mechanistic concerns are absent. However, because hydrogenated polydecene is a topical emollient (lipophilic, occlusive) and infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier, dermal exposure/bioavailability for 0–3 yr olds is plausibly higher than adults; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers; applied infant exposure rule).
- Is hydrogenated polydecene safe for newborns?
- No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard in infants. Mechanistic concerns are absent. However, because hydrogenated polydecene is a topical emollient (lipophilic, occlusive) and infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier, dermal exposure/bioavailability for 0–3 yr olds is plausibly higher than adults; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers; applied infant exposure rule).
