FAQ
- Is trilaurylamine safe during pregnancy?
- No authoritative cosmetic safety panel (CIR or SCCS) opinion or ECHA harmonised classification for trilaurylamine (tridodecylamine, CAS 102-87-4) was located. Major substance records (ECHA brief profile / substance information, PubChem/vendor entries) do not list a harmonised CLH (H360) or an authoritative reproduction/developmental classification; therefore under your scoring rules the default is no evidence (h=0). Dermal exposure from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible given the very high molecular weight and lipophilicity; therefore exposure for adults is scored e=0. Sources: ECHA substance/brief profile, PubChem/vendor records, SDSs.
- Is trilaurylamine safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive classification (no H360 CLH) and no CIR/SCCS or peer-reviewed human reproductive data found. No known mechanism for transfer via milk was found; dermal exposure from cosmetics is expected to be negligible for adults. Thus h=0, m=0, e=0.
- Is trilaurylamine safe for baby skin?
- Hazard (h) and mechanism (m) scores remain 0 because no reproductive/developmental hazard evidence or mechanism was found. Exposure (e) is increased to 1 for baby skin (0–3 yr) because although adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for this very lipophilic, high‑MW tertiary amine, infant skin has a higher surface‑area:weight ratio and an immature barrier so small but measurable absorption cannot be excluded.
- How does VeriMom score trilaurylamine?
