Frequently asked questions
- Is polysilicone-9 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. However, because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, a small increase in exposure is plausible for topical use (adult exposure scored negligible; infant exposure increased to 1). No infant‑specific absorption or toxicity studies were located (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers, EWG).
