Frequently asked questions
- Is octyldodecyl xyloside safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity. Adult hazard/mechanism remain 0. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (to 1) because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight — while adult dermal absorption appears negligible for this high-molecular-weight nonionic surfactant class, it is prudent to account for modestly higher exposure in 0–3 yr children. No infant-specific absorption or toxicity studies located. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed (no infant studies), ECHA Annex VI.)
