Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium lauroamphoacetate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard for infants (h=0, m=0). Because sodium lauroamphoacetate is a surfactant used in baby cleansers and is not completely non‑absorbable, immature infant skin increases potential per‑kg exposure; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin (e=1) though systemic absorption is still expected to be low for rinse‑off use.
