Frequently asked questions
- Is sucrose polysoyate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity (h=0, m=0). Topical absorption for large sucrose esters is expected to be low in adults (e=0), but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 year olds to reflect potentially higher but still low absorption. No infant‑specific adverse data found in regulatory sources.
- Is sucrose polysoyate safe for newborns?
- No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity (h=0, m=0).

No infant‑specific adverse data found in regulatory sources.
