Frequently asked questions

Is polypropylsilsesquioxane safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific hazard data were found. CIR lists polypropylsilsesquioxane among polysilsesquioxanes judged safe for cosmetic use; ECHA shows no harmonised reproductive classification. Because the ingredient is a polymeric silicone resin (large molecule) with minimal expected dermal absorption in adults, default adult exposure is negligible, but immaturity of infant skin warrants increasing exposure score by +1 (per your scoring rules) for 0–3 year‑old skin.
