Frequently asked questions
- Is oleth-10 safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found. Following your instruction to increase exposure by +1 for baby skin when adult absorption is measurable, infant exposure is increased to e=2 (adult e=1 → baby e=2) because ethoxylated surfactants can be absorbed at low levels and infant skin has higher permeability; there is no evidence to increase hazard or mechanism scores. (Sources: CIR; EWG).
