Frequently asked questions
- Is jojoba wax peg-120 esters safe for baby skin?
- No intrinsic reproductive hazard identified. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin because immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight can raise absorption potential for topicals; however, PEG‑120 jojoba wax esters are high‑MW, low‑volatile, and expected to have low percutaneous absorption, so exposure is low but measurable for 0–3 yr skin compared with adults (CosIng / PubChem / literature on PEG esters).
