Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglycerin-10 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of a reproductive hazard or specific infant toxicity (h=0, m=0). CIR notes high water solubility and very negative log Kow (hydrophilic) and the ingredient is used at low concentrations in leave‑on products; dermal systemic uptake for adults is considered negligible (adult e=0). Per your scoring rules, infant exposure is increased by +1 because infant/young toddler skin barrier immaturity may allow greater per‑kg absorption even when adult dermal absorption is minimal (hence e=1).
