Frequently asked questions
- Is hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive/toxic hazard or mechanistic concern for infants. As a high‑MW, cationic inulin derivative dermal absorption is expected to be very low in adults (adult e=0). However, because infant skin barrier is immature and surface‑area‑to‑weight is higher, a conservative small increase in exposure scoring is applied (e=1). No infant‑specific toxicity or absorption studies were identified.
