Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/reproductive hazard specific to infants; CIR assessment covers dermal cosmetic use and lists these esters in common topical products without reproductive flags. There were no quantitative dermal‑absorption data located showing significant systemic uptake; therefore no increase to exposure scoring was applied for infants. If future data show measurable percutaneous absorption, infant exposure should be reassessed. (CIR; PubChem).
