Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium polyglutamate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity (h=0, m=0). Adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for a high‑MW hydrophilic polymer (e=0), but per assessment rules and because infant skin barrier is immature, exposure score increased by +1 (e=1) to reflect potentially greater—but still low—absorption in infants. No infant-specific adverse data found.
