Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium c12-13 pareth sulfate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/toxic mechanism identified. Exposure: ethoxylated sulfate surfactants have measurable dermal exposure potential; because infants (0–3 yr) have higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adult (from 0 to 1). Primary concerns for infant use are skin irritation/detergent effects rather than reproductive toxicity.
