Frequently asked questions
- Is macadamia seed oil polyglyceryl-6 esters behenate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or systemic toxicity data. Adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for a large polyglyceryl‑ester emollient (so adult e=0). Per instruction, infant skin has higher absorption potential; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 to e=1 despite absence of hazard evidence. No harmonised classifications or studies indicate infant hazard.
