Frequently asked questions

Is hydroxystearic/linolenic/linoleic polyglycerides safe for baby skin?
No intrinsic reproductive/ developmental hazard identified (h=0). For exposure, per guidance immature infant skin has higher permeability; while these high‑MW polyglyceride esters are expected to have low dermal absorption in adults (e=0), infant exposure is conservatively increased by +1 to e=1 because barrier immaturity can allow measurable absorption of some cosmetic lipids (CosIng, general percutaneous absorption principles). No infant‑specific toxicity data were found.
