Frequently asked questions
- Is methylheptylglycerin safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazard or mechanistic data were found. Topical cosmetic use implies limited systemic hazard evidence (h=0,m=0); exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3‑year skin because the ingredient is used topically and is not demonstrably non-absorbable, and immature skin has higher absorption. Supplier/ingredient pages describe topical use and formulation roles but provide no infant-specific safety data.
