FAQ

Why look for alternatives to cyclotetrasiloxane?

Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4; CAS 556-67-2) has a harmonised CLP classification Repr. 2 (H361f) in ECHA’s Annex VI (CLH) and is listed with aquatic chronic H410; ECHA’s CLH and registration dossiers report reproductive effects in rodent studies and mechanistic papers describe possible endocrine-related modes of action, supporting a suspected reproductive hazard (h=2, m=2). Topical cosmetic exposure is generally lower than inhalation in animal studies; dermal absorption is measurable but limited for this volatile, lipophilic siloxane, so exposure from typical cosmetic use is scored low but measurable (e=1). Sources: ECHA CLH / brief profile; rodent reproductive studies and mechanistic reviews.

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
