Frequently asked questions
- Is polydecene safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific developmental or dermal toxicity data were found; CIR and product-safety summaries report low toxicity and no reproductive/developmental effects. Adult dermal absorption is considered negligible for this high‑molecular‑weight hydrocarbon polymer (e=0), but because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score for baby skin is increased by +1 (e=1) per instruction despite no infant‑specific adverse data. (CIR; EWG; PubChem).
