Frequently asked questions
- Is triisostearyl citrate safe for baby skin?
- No baby- or infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data were identified. Triisostearyl citrate is a lipophilic citrate ester used as an emollient; while no specific dermal absorption studies were found, such esters are not completely non‑absorbable—therefore exposure for infants (0–3 yr) is increased relative to adults and exposure score is raised by +1. No evidence supports increased hazard or a reproductive mechanism in infants.
