Frequently asked questions
- Is dipropylene glycol safe during pregnancy?
- No ECHA harmonised reproductive classification. CIR concluded safe as used in cosmetics. Animal repro studies show no effects at relevant doses.
- Is dipropylene glycol safe while breastfeeding?
- As for pregnancy: no authoritative evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity. Dermal absorption is low but measurable, so there is potential for small systemic exposure during topical use; no data showing transfer in milk or specific breastfed-infant effects.
- Is dipropylene glycol safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazard data indicating reproductive or developmental toxicity. Because infants (0–3 yr) have higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, dermal exposure rating is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No infant-specific studies showing increased mechanistic risk.
