Frequently asked questions

Is pentafluoropropane safe for baby skin?

Pentafluoropropane (1,1,1,3,3‑pentafluoropropane, HFC‑245fa) is a volatile gas/liquid used industrially (e.g., blowing agent); there are no dermal reproductive or developmental hazard findings and dermal toxicity was not observed in available studies. Topical cosmetic use is not documented in authoritative cosmetic safety sources (no CIR or SCCS opinion or CosIng entry found), so topical exposure from cosmetics appears unlikely; available human studies address inhalation with low uptake. Therefore exposure from intended topical cosmetic use would be negligible. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10630582/))
