FAQ

Ist pyrocatechol in der Schwangerschaft sicher?

CIR/CosmeticsInfo conclude pyrocatechol (catechol) produced developmental effects after oral exposure and — because it is skin‑absorbable — the CIR Expert Panel judged it unsafe for leave‑on cosmetic use, supporting a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (consistent with H361-level concern but not H360). Dermal absorption from leave‑on products was highlighted as a significant exposure concern. (CIR/CosmeticsInfo).

Ist pyrocatechol während des Stillens sicher?

Same hazard level as pregnancy because developmental/repro effects were reported in experimental studies and CIR flagged safety concerns. There are no reliable data on placental/breastmilk transfer; expected exposure during topical maternal use is low‑to‑measurable for rinse‑off but higher for leave‑on — so breastfeeding exposure is assessed as low but measurable in the absence of milk transfer data.

Ist pyrocatechol sicher für Babyhaut?

CIR explicitly concluded pyrocatechol is unsafe for leave‑on cosmetic products because of skin absorption and developmental/carcinogenic/cocarcinogenic findings; immature infant skin raises systemic uptake, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 y infants (resulting in high exposure). No infant‑specific mechanistic evidence was identified to change hazard or mechanism scores.
