Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium cocoyl isethionate safe for baby skin?
- Ingredient is used in baby cleansers and is assessed as a mild surfactant with no reproductive or developmental hazard; dermal systemic absorption is expected to be low and therefore, following CIR and regulatory summaries, no additional hazard or mechanism is indicated for infants 0–3 years. Typical safety databases and cosmetic listings (CIR; CosIng; ECHA) do not identify infant-specific reproductive or systemic toxicity. (Note: infant skin has higher permeability, but available assessments for this ingredient do not report measurable systemic reproductive risks.)
