Frequently asked questions

Is sodium peg-4 cocamide sulfate safe for baby skin?

No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants. Dermal absorption from surfactants is generally low for adults, but immature infant skin and higher surface‑area-to‑weight warrant increased exposure consideration (hence exposure +1). Irritation potential (skin sensitivity) is a separate consideration but does not change reproductive hazard scores.
