Alternativas seguras a alcohol en el embarazo | VeriMom

FAQ

Why look for alternatives to alcohol?

Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5) produces reproduc-tive/developmental effects when exposure is systemic (oral) — prenatal ethanol causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in humans and teratogenic/developmental effects in animal studies; ethanol crosses the placenta (proven placental transfer), so mechanism is demonstrated. For topical cosmetic use, CIR concluded dermal application or inhalation of cosmetic alcohols will not produce significant systemic exposure, so exposure from normal cosmetic topical use is low but measurable. Sources: CIR safety assessment of Alcohol Denat./ethanol, ECHA registration dossier summary, and peer‑reviewed reviews of prenatal ethanol toxicity.

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
