Frequently asked questions
- Is polyacrylate-33 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive or developmental data indicating concern (h=0,m=0). Exposure: adult dermal absorption expected to be negligible for high‑MW polyacrylates; however infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 to e=1 to reflect low but measurable potential exposure via topical application (sources: general polymer absorption principles as reflected in regulatory practice; CosIng; PubChem).
