Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-30 glyceryl stearate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxicological signals found. Exposure: dermal absorption of PEG‑30 glyceryl stearate is expected to be low due to large molecular size/PEGylation and lipophilic ester nature, but infant skin has higher permeability—so exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr to reflect potentially higher but still low absorption (CosIng/ECHA/PubChem general ingredient property references).
