FAQ
- Why look for alternatives to sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate?
- Authoritative cosmetic safety review (CIR) and regulatory listings do not identify reproductive hazard or harmonised CLP reproductive classifications for sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate; no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity was found (CIR opinion / CosIng / PubChem summary). Dermal absorption from rinse‑off/leave‑on formulations of this type of water‑soluble mild surfactant is low but measurable, so exposure is assigned as 'low but measurable'.
- 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.
