Frequently asked questions
- Is dimethiconol safe during pregnancy?
- High-molecular-weight non-volatile silicone polymer. Negligible dermal absorption. No harmonised reproductive classification.
- Is dimethiconol safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard, no harmonised classification, and silicones such as dimethiconol have very low dermal absorption and no reports of transfer via breast milk in the literature/registries reviewed. Aggregated GHS entries do not constitute harmonised classification.
- Is dimethiconol safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive/toxic effects specific to infants. Exposure: dermal absorption of large silicone polymers is negligible in adults; however, because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, a conservative increase of exposure score to 1 is applied (measurable but low potential exposure), though no infant-specific adverse data were identified.
