Frequently asked questions
- Is poly(c6-14 olefin) safe for baby skin?
- Poly(c6-14 olefin) is a high‑molecular‑weight polymeric olefin/emollient with no data indicating reproductive or mechanistic hazards (ECHA/CosIng/PubChem) and no harmonised CLP reproductive classifications. Available sources do not report measurable percutaneous toxicity; given polymeric nature, dermal absorption is expected to be negligible, so exposure scoring remains 0 for infants in the absence of infant‑specific absorption data.
