Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants (h=0, m=0). Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, measurable absorption is more plausible even for ingredients with low adult absorption; therefore exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (e=1). Safety assessments (CIR-style conclusions for similar PEG hydrogenated castor oils) generally consider these materials safe in cosmetics at typical use levels, but specific infant dermal studies are limited.
