Frequently asked questions
- Is lauryl methacrylate/glycol dimethacrylate crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of reproductive/toxicological signals. Exposure score increased to 1 for infants (0–3 yr) because although adult dermal absorption is negligible for high-MW crosslinked polymers, infant skin has a thinner barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio so a low but non-zero exposure potential is prudent in absence of infant-specific absorption data (sources: CosIng, PubChem, general polymer dermal absorption principles; no infant-specific studies found in PubMed).
