Frequently asked questions
- Is propyl gallate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified; harmonised CLP codes do not include reproductive endpoints (h=0). No mechanism for reproductive toxicity demonstrated (m=0). Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-body-weight and an immature barrier, dermal exposure ranking is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Note skin sensitisation (H317) is a relevant hazard for topical use in all ages (ECHA Annex VI).
