Frequently asked questions
- Is ppg-5-ceteth-20 safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxic mechanism identified. As a high‑molecular‑weight, ethoxylated surfactant, dermal absorption in adults is expected to be negligible; however, infant skin has higher permeability—so exposure scoring is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant‑specific toxicity or classification found (sources: CIR none, ECHA Annex VI none, PubMed no relevant studies).
