Frequently asked questions
- Is octyldodeceth-25 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive/toxic hazard for infants. Dermal absorption of large ethoxylated surfactants is expected to be low in adults (hence adult e=0), but infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so exposure score increased by +1. If impurities (e.g., 1,4‑dioxane) are present, those would be the primary concern and are not specific to this ingredient formulation.
