Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-4 oleate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult topical exposure considered negligible → infant exposure = low but measurable). No infant-specific studies or alerts found in SCCS/CIR/ECHA databases to increase hazard or mechanism scores (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA).
