Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-6 caprylate/caprate safe for baby skin?
- Polyglyceryl esters are commonly used in products for sensitive and baby skin due to mildness; no specific developmental or infant toxicity data were found. Dermal absorption for this kind of high‑molecular‑weight, hydrophilic ester is expected to be negligible for typical cosmetic use; therefore exposure score remains 0. If future data show measurable percutaneous absorption, exposure for infants should be reassessed (+1).
