FAQ
- Ist ethylhexanol in der Schwangerschaft sicher?
- Animal developmental/toxicity studies in rodents (dermal and dietary studies) do not show teratogenicity or consistent developmental toxicity at doses up to high levels; authoritative registries (ECHA registration / PubChem summary of NTP studies) report no developmental or maternal effects at tested doses. No harmonised CLP H360 classification was found; some safety data sheets/C&L notifications list suspected reproductive hazard (H361) but these appear to be company notifications rather than an EU-harmonised classification, so they do not by themselves justify raising the hazard score. Topical cosmetic exposure would be expected to give low but measurable systemic exposure. (Tyl et al. 1992; PubChem/NTP summary; ECHA substance/registration information).
- Ist ethylhexanol während des Stillens sicher?
- No reliable mammalian data show reproductive/developmental effects at relevant exposures and no authoritative guidance (CIR or SCCS) listing as unsafe in lactation was located. Systemic absorption from topical use is expected to be low but measurable, so small amounts could theoretically reach breast milk, but direct data on milk transfer are lacking. Company SDS/C&L notifications claiming H361 are not harmonised and do not provide definitive evidence of lactation risk. (PubChem/NTP; ECHA registration/dossier).
- Ist ethylhexanol sicher für Babyhaut?
- No infant-specific developmental or reproductive toxicity data were identified. Given measurable dermal absorption in adults and the increased surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier in infants, exposure rating is increased by one for baby skin (adult e=1 → baby e=2). The available rodent developmental studies do not indicate teratogenicity at tested doses. Recent non-mammalian studies (zebrafish) report neurodevelopmental effects, but these are not directly translatable to human infant skin/ systemic risk without further mammalian evidence. (Tyl et al. 1992; recent zebrafish study; PubChem/ECHA summaries).
