Frequently asked questions
- Is potassium olivate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no specific reproductive or developmental hazard data for infants. Exposure: dermal exposure potential is higher in infants due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, so exposure score increased by +1 despite low intrinsic systemic bioavailability reported for fatty acid salts (CosIng, ECHA, PubChem). No studies show harmful effects on infant skin when used in rinse‑off or leave‑on products at typical concentrations, but specific infant studies are limited.
