FAQ
- Why look for alternatives to hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (H360/H361) for hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde (HICC / Lyral) was identified in the authoritative ECHA/C&L materials; the regulatory and expert literature and safety reviews focus on skin sensitisation rather than reproductive toxicity. Systemic exposure from normal cosmetic topical use is low but measurable, so exposure during pregnancy is scored as low (e=1). Sources: SCCS opinion on HICC (sensitisation focus) and ECHA notices/public consultation (no confirmed harmonised repro classification). (https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_q_022.pdf; https://echa.europa.eu/all-news/-/journal_content/56d34d61-2a1f-4f23-a3d6-0f4f5a5a0b9a).
- 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.
