Frequently asked questions

Is lauryl glucoside safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazards reported. Mechanistic concerns are absent. Dermal exposure for infants may be higher than adults due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; while lauryl glucoside is poorly systemically absorbed, a modest increase in exposure scoring is applied for 0–3 yr skin (adult exposure judged negligible — ECHA/CosIng/PubChem — so infant exposure scored as low but measurable).
