Is polyglyceryl-2 stearate safe for baby skin?
No data indicating developmental/neonatal hazard or mechanism. Polyglyceryl‑2 stearate is a high‑molecular‑weight nonionic emulsifier with low expected dermal absorption; EWG/CosIng/PubChem list it as low concern. Because no measurable absorption/repro data were found, exposure score remains 0 (no infant‑specific evidence to increase hazard or mechanism).
