Frequently asked questions
- Is styrene/acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?

Exposure increased to 1 for infants because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight — although the polymer is high molecular weight and expected to have very limited absorption, a precautionary +1 exposure score is applied. Sources: CosIng ingredient listing, general polymer absorption principles, PubChem.
