Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-6 ricinoleate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or mechanistic concern for infants. Absorption from topical use for adults expected to be negligible for a high-molecular-weight polyglyceryl ester, but per guidance immature infant skin increases exposure potential so exposure score raised by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant-specific adverse data found (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA).
