Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-10 polyricinoleate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or mechanistic concern (h=0,m=0). Topical absorption for high‑MW polyglyceryl esters is expected to be low, so adult exposure score is 0; however, because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (e=1). No infant-specific toxicity data were found.
