Frequently asked questions

Is sodium olivoyl glutamate safe for baby skin?
No hazard or mechanistic evidence specific to infants. For exposure, infant/0–3y skin has higher absorption risk; although adult topical dermal absorption for this water‑soluble amino‑acid surfactant is expected to be negligible, a precautionary +1 exposure score is applied for baby skin due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight (no infant‑specific toxicity data found in PubMed, CosIng, ECHA).
