Frequently asked questions

Is lauryl pca safe for baby skin?
No intrinsic reproductive hazard identified. Dermal exposure potential for infants is higher due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; although lauryl PCA is a skin-conditioning amphiphilic ester with likely low-to-moderate dermal absorption, infant exposure is increased relative to adults (h/m defaults retained at 0; exposure scored +1 for infants). Sources: CosIng ingredient profile, general dermal absorption principles, absence of reproductive/tox data in PubMed/ECHA.
