Frequently asked questions
- Is vp/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of polymer‑specific adverse reproductive evidence. Exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 y because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; while the polymer itself is poorly absorbed, infant skin increases the possibility of low but measurable absorption. If product specifications allow measurable residual N‑vinylpyrrolidone, risk should be reassessed based on that monomer level.
