Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-90 glyceryl isostearate safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/infant toxicity data were found; parental ingredient shows no reproductive hazard signals. However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible in adults to low but measurable in infants). Consider formulation concentration and avoidance of products with ethoxylation impurities (1,4‑dioxane) for baby products.
