Frequently asked questions

Is peg-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard in authoritative sources. Overall dermal absorption of large PEG-ester molecules is expected to be negligible in adults, but due to immature infant skin and higher surface-area-to-body-weight, exposure assessment is increased by one category (e=1). There is no infant-specific evidence of hazard or mechanism.
