Frequently asked questions
- Is polyamide-3 safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicity data were located. Polyamide‑3 is a polymeric film former used topically; polymers generally show negligible systemic hazard (h=0, m=0). However, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased to e=1 (low but measurable) relative to adults in the absence of data showing zero absorption. Sources: EWG ingredient listing, CosIng/SpecialChem descriptions, general CIR/ECHA context on polyamides and polymers.
