Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium cocoyl sarcosinate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating developmental or endocrine effects in infants. Exposure: increased from adult (0) to 1 for babies because surfactants are skin‑contact ingredients with measurable topical exposure and infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so absorption potential is higher even though systemic hazard evidence is lacking (sources: PubChem, CosIng, general toxicology principles).
