Frequently asked questions

Is tristearin safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/toxic mechanism identified. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible for large triglycerides, but because infant skin has an immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, practical exposure is scored one level higher (e=1). No evidence of systemic effects in infants from topical use. Sources: PubChem, CosIng/CIR, ECHA registration information (no reproductive flags).
