FAQ
- Why look for alternatives to peg-10 phytosterol?
- No harmonised reproductive/classification for PEG‑10 phytosterol in ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction found. Peer‑reviewed searches show no reproductive or teratogenic signal for PEG‑10 phytosterol or for phytosterols in typical topical use; therefore default hazard = 0 and no known reproductive mechanism (m=0). Dermal absorption for typical PEG‑ethers of high molecular weight/sterol conjugates is low for adults, so exposure scored 0. (Sources consulted: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, PubMed, CIR, EWG).
- 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.
