Frequently asked questions
- Is tridecyl trimellitate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or mechanistic concern (h=0,m=0). Dermal absorption data are lacking, but as a high‑molecular‑weight, highly lipophilic ester absorption is expected to be low in adults (adult e=0); infant skin has higher permeability, so exposure for 0–3 y is increased by +1 to e=1. No infant‑specific toxicity data located.
