Frequently asked questions
- Is stearoyl glutamic acid safe for baby skin?
- No reproductive hazard evidence (h=0) or known mechanism (m=0). Exposure score increased to 1 for infants because (a) stearoyl glutamic acid is a small amphiphilic cosmetic ingredient with potential for low but measurable dermal absorption and (b) infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier function, raising potential exposure compared with adults. No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
