Frequently asked questions
- Is sucrose distearate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or toxicity data were identified. Adult hazard/mechanism remain 0. Dermal exposure score increased to e=1 for baby skin because sucrose distearate is not completely non‑absorbable but is a large surfactant with low expected systemic uptake; infants have higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier, so exposure is classed as low but measurable. Regulatory sources show no contraindication for infant topical use (CosIng/ECHA information; EWG lists it with low concern).
