Ist c14-22 alcohols in der Schwangerschaft sicher?
C14-22 alcohols are mixtures of long‑chain (fatty) primary alcohols (e.g., myristyl, cetyl, stearyl, behenyl). Cosmetic safety reviews (CIR) for individual long‑chain fatty alcohols (cetyl, stearyl, myristyl, behenyl, cetearyl mixtures) concluded they are safe in current cosmetic use and found no reproductive or teratogenic hazard; no harmonised reproductive classifications (H360/H361) were identified for the C14–C22 fatty alcohol group in ECHA’s public substance pages. Dermal absorption of long‑chain fatty alcohols is low, so systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is low but measurable. (Sources: CIR ingredient pages; ECHA substance information; PubMed reproductive studies for behenyl/long‑chain alcohols).

(Sources: CIR ingredient pages; ECHA substance information; PubMed reproductive studies for behenyl/long‑chain alcohols).
- Ist c14-22 alcohols während des Stillens sicher?
- There is no evidence from CIR reviews or peer‑reviewed studies that long‑chain fatty alcohols cause reproductive or lactation toxicity; they are not identified as developmental or lactation hazards in available dossiers. Topical use would give low systemic exposure and therefore low likelihood of transfer into breastmilk under usual cosmetic use conditions. (Sources: CIR, ECHA registration summaries, PubMed).
- Ist c14-22 alcohols sicher für Babyhaut?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/safety hazards were identified in CIR or the peer‑reviewed literature for C14–C22 fatty alcohols; CIR conclusions for cetyl/stearyl/behenyl/myristyl indicate 'safe as used'. However immature infant skin has higher per‑kg exposure and increased permeability; given low but measurable dermal absorption in adults I increase the exposure score for babies by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). There is no infant‑specific evidence to change hazard (h) or mechanism (m). (Sources: CIR reviews; PubMed studies; ECHA registration/draft assessments; EWG ingredient listing).
