Exposure (e) set to 1 for babies because Polyester‑7 is a polymeric topical film‑forming ingredient used in leave‑on products and polymers of this type are not completely non‑absorbable — infant skin has higher surface‑area/weight and an immature barrier, so exposure is increased by +1 versus adult. (Sources: ingredient listings showing use in leave‑on cosmetics and EWG note of limited data.)
