Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-100 stearate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/reproductive hazard specific to infants; mechanism of reproductive toxicity is lacking (h=0, m=0). Because PEG-type ingredients are not absolutely non-absorbable but PEG-100 is high molecular weight and expected to have minimal dermal absorption in adults, infant exposure is increased one level due to immature barrier/higher surface-area-to-weight (e=1) even though overall systemic risk evidence is absent (PubChem; CosIng; CIR).
