Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium lauryl sulfoacetate safe for baby skin?
- No specific infant reproductive/toxicity signals in regulatory or peer-reviewed sources. Dermal absorption for an anionic surfactant like sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is expected to be low in adults (hence e=0), but given immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight in infants 0–3 yr, exposure score is increased by +1 (e=1). CIR/ECHA information supports low systemic hazard but infant-specific absorption data are limited.
