Frequently asked questions
- Is trideceth-12 safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or mechanistic hazards identified (h=0,m=0). Because trideceth‑12 is an ethoxylated surfactant with measurable (though generally low) dermal bioavailability in alcohol ethoxylates and infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and a less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3‑year skin. No studies show infant‑specific toxicity. ([pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6256959/?utm_source=openai))
