Frequently asked questions

Is octyldodecyl olivate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity (no harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or CIR/SCCS concerns). Dermal absorption for cosmetic emollients of this type is low for adults; because infants (0–3 yr) have a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult exposure considered negligible but measurable in infants).
