Frequently asked questions
- Is polymethyl methacrylate safe for baby skin?
- PMMA is a large, non‑absorbed polymer used as a film former/filler/pearlizer; adult dermal absorption is negligible and therefore infant exposure is also expected to be negligible. There is no infant‑specific evidence of reproductive or systemic toxicity. If formulations contain measurable residual MMA monomer, infant risk would depend on monomer level, but that is a manufacturing/impurity issue rather than the polymer itself.
