FAQ

Ist 2-ethylhexanol in der Schwangerschaft sicher?

Animal developmental studies (NTP CD‑1 mouse developmental toxicity report and other GLP studies) report increased fetal skeletal variations/other developmental effects in mice following exposure, supporting a suspected reproductive/developmental hazard (h=2). A specific mechanistic pathway for reproductive effects is not well established in the literature (assigned m=1 for theoretical/partial mechanistic evidence). For typical topical cosmetic use dermal absorption is low but measurable (e=1), so systemic exposure from normal cosmetic use is expected to be low; however systemic maternal exposure caused the effects in high‑dose animal studies. Sources: NTP developmental study; EPA PPRTV summary; PubChem substance summary; ECHA registration dossier.

Ist 2-ethylhexanol während des Stillens sicher?

Because animal developmental/reproductive evidence indicates suspected reproductive/developmental toxicity, breastfeeding was conservatively scored h=2 (suspected). There is no well‑documented human lactation/transfer data or well‑characterized mechanism (m=1). Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is low but measurable (e=1), implying low maternal systemic exposures and therefore low but non‑zero potential for milk transfer in the absence of direct human lactation data.

Ist 2-ethylhexanol sicher für Babyhaut?

Hazard (h=2) is carried over because animal developmental studies indicate suspected developmental/reproductive effects; there is no infant‑specific evidence to change hazard or mechanism scores. Mechanistic information remains limited (m=1). Exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin (e=2) because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier and 2‑ethylhexanol is a small, somewhat lipophilic alcohol with measurable dermal absorption in models, so infant dermal exposure is plausibly higher than adult topical use.
