FAQ

Why look for alternatives to acrylamide/ sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer?

Harmonised CLP and ECHA list acrylamide (CAS 79-06-1) as Carc. 1B (H350), Muta.1B (H340) and Repr.2 (H361f), which justifies a suspected reproductive/carcinogenic hazard for the acrylamide monomer. Regulatory and safety reviews (CIR) treat acrylamide‑containing polymers as acceptable only if residual monomer is controlled (e.g., ≤0.1 mg/kg for leave‑on in EU), so mechanism evidence and animal reproductive findings support m=2 and a measurable but low dermal exposure for cosmetics (e=1). (Sources: ECHA harmonised classification; CIR safety assessments; EU Annex III restriction).

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
