Frequently asked questions

Is sodium polyaspartate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity was identified. Sodium polyaspartate is a high‑molecular‑weight, water‑soluble polymer with low reported systemic toxicity (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers), so hazard and mechanism scores remain 0. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1) despite lack of data showing notable absorption.
