Frequently asked questions

Is tocopheryl glucoside safe for baby skin?
No evidence of intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard for tocopheryl glucoside (h=0). Mechanistically no known reproductive mechanism (m=0). Exposure is given a +1 for infants because immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight make systemic uptake more likely than adults; tocopheryl glucoside has measurable dermal use in cosmetics and can be hydrolysed to tocopherol, so infant exposure is low but non-negligible (e=1). Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed literature on topical vitamin E derivatives and skin glucosidase activity; general pediatric skin absorption principles.
