Frequently asked questions

Is ppg-12-buteth-16 safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified (h=0, m=0). For exposure, although there are no data showing high dermal absorption, baby skin has higher permeability; since the ingredient is a low-molecular-weight PPG-derived surfactant/emollient and not known to be non-absorbable, exposure for 0–3 yr is increased by one category relative to adults (adult e scored 0 → infant e = 1) (CosIng, PubChem).
