Frequently asked questions
- Is magnesium laureth sulfate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified in authoritative sources. Exposure: dermal absorption for surfactants is generally negligible in adults, but immature infant skin has higher permeability and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio — therefore exposure score increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). Typical concern for baby use is irritation rather than systemic reproductive effects.
