Frequently asked questions
- Is polyquaternium-70 safe for baby skin?
- Polyquaternium‑70 is a large quaternary ammonium polymer used as a conditioning agent (CosIng, PubChem); no infant‑specific toxicology or dermal absorption data indicating increased hazard. Given high molecular weight and typical low percutaneous absorption of such polymers, exposure for 0–3 y is considered negligible (no basis to up‑score exposure). No baby‑specific studies found indicating developmental or local toxic effects.
