Frequently asked questions
- Is isopropyl palmitate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicology evidence indicating hazard or mechanism. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, the exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adult topical exposure (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Relevant authoritative sources (CIR safety assessment, CosIng ingredient listing, PubChem/ECHA summary data) do not indicate developmental or reproductive toxicity.
