Sollte ich sodium borohydride in der Schwangerschaft meiden? | VeriMom
Sodium borohydride is listed with a harmonised GHS classification of Reproductive toxicity Category 1B (H360: "May damage fertility or the unborn child") in regulatory/industry safety data (ECHA brief-profile / registration metadata and multiple manufacturer SDSs), which triggers a confirmed hazard score. Available sources do not provide a well‑characterised molecular mechanism for reproductive effects, so mechanism is scored as theoretical/uncertain. Topical cosmetic exposure would be expected to give negligible systemic exposure because NaBH4 is a reactive inorganic hydride that hydrolyses in water and is not used as a cosmetic ingredient; therefore exposure from normal cosmetic use is scored as 0. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.037.262?utm_source=openai))

- Ist sodium borohydride während des Stillens sicher?
- Hazard remains confirmed (harmonised H360; Repr. 1B) and therefore is scored high for breastfeeding as well. No data located showing placental/mammary transfer studies for NaBH4 specifically; mechanism remains unclear. For topical cosmetic use, expected systemic exposure is negligible (NaBH4 reacts/hydrolyses in aqueous environments), so exposure for breastfeeding contexts from cosmetic use is scored 0. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.037.262?utm_source=openai))
- Ist sodium borohydride sicher für Babyhaut?
- Hazard remains confirmed (H360 → h=3). Mechanistic data are not well described in the literature consulted. Adult topical exposure judged negligible (e=0) because of the compound’s reactivity and lack of cosmetic uses, but infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and less mature barrier—per scoring rules increase exposure by +1 for baby skin when absorption is at least potentially measurable, so e=1 for 0–3 yr. No infant‑specific absorption or toxicokinetic data were found. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.037.262?utm_source=openai))
