Frequently asked questions

Is hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer safe for baby skin?
Polymers of this type are high molecular weight, lipophilic film formers with negligible dermal penetration; therefore exposure from topical use is considered negligible even for infant skin and there are no infant‑specific toxicity reports or regulatory warnings. No increase in hazard or mechanism scores is warranted. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA information indicating polymeric inert status.)
Is hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer safe for newborns?
Polymers of this type are high molecular weight, lipophilic film formers with negligible dermal penetration; therefore exposure from topical use is considered negligible even for infant skin and there are no infant‑specific toxicity reports or regulatory warnings. No increase in hazard or mechanism scores is warranted. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA information indicating polymeric inert status.)
Can I use hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer on a baby under 6 months?
We don't have baby-skin-specific data for hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer. Stick to ingredients we've marked no known risks for babies until more evidence is available.
