Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium sheabutteramphoacetate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of baby‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity. Mechanistic data lacking. Absorption from infant skin can be higher than adult; although the molecule is large and surfactant‑type (low penetration), a conservative incremental exposure score (+1) was applied for 0–3 yr because infant skin barrier is immature and some dermal uptake is possible. No harmonised classification or adverse data specific to infants.
