Frequently asked questions
- Is tea-dodecylbenzenesulfonate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicity or developmental effects identified. Because infant skin has higher permeability and higher surface‑area‑to‑body‑weight, the exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2).
