FAQ
- Is aminoethylethanolamine safe during pregnancy?
- ECHA (substance/C&L) lists a harmonised classification for 2-(2‑aminoethylamino)ethanol (CAS 111‑41‑1) as Repr. 1B (H360: “may damage the unborn child”) which is the trigger for a highest reproductive hazard score per your rules; no SCCS/CIR opinion or peer‑reviewed mechanism for reproductive toxicity was identified. Dermal/topical cosmetic exposure would be expected to give low but measurable systemic absorption for a small polar amine, so exposure is scored as 1. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/en/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.003.516?utm_source=openai))
- Is aminoethylethanolamine safe while breastfeeding?
- ECHA information also includes the specific hazard statement H362 (may cause harm to breast‑fed children) and company/registration notifications referencing potential harm to breast‑fed children; this supports a suspected (not mechanistically proven) hazard to nursing infants, so h is 2. No peer‑reviewed mechanism or lactation transfer data were found. Exposure via topical maternal use is scored low but measurable. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/en/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.003.516?utm_source=openai))
- Is aminoethylethanolamine safe for baby skin?
- There were no infant‑specific developmental toxicity studies after topical application identified in PubMed or regulatory assessments; per your rules absence of infant‑specific evidence means do not upscore hazard or mechanism. However ECHA/SDS data show corrosive and sensitising properties (H314, H317) and the compound is a small, polar amine with measurable dermal penetration potential; therefore exposure for infants (immature barrier, higher SA:BW) is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/en/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.003.516?utm_source=openai))
