VeriMom¿Debo evitar benzophenone-2 durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Benzophenone-2 (BP‑2) is flagged as a reproductive/ED concern based on animal and mechanistic data (estrogenic activity in rodents and fish) and recent regulatory review by SCCS; this supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (h=2). Mechanistically, in vitro and in vivo studies show estrogenic/endocrine activity (m=2). Typical topical cosmetic use gives low but measurable systemic exposure (e=1). Key sources: CIR (overall cosmetic assessment), peer‑reviewed studies showing estrogenic activity, and the SCCS preliminary opinion raising concern.

- Benzophenone-2 (BP‑2) is flagged as a reproductive/ED concern based on animal and mechanistic data (estrogenic activity in rodents and fish) and recent regulatory review by SCCS; this supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (h=2).

- ¿Es benzophenone-2 seguro durante la lactancia?
- Hazard and mechanism same as for pregnancy (suspected reproductive/endocrine activity; demonstrated estrogenic effects in animals/in vitro). There are limited/no reliable human lactation transfer data; with topical exposure systemic levels are low but measurable so breastfeeding exposure is possible but likely low (e=1).
- ¿Es benzophenone-2 seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Do not increase hazard or mechanism without infant‑specific evidence, but absorption/exposure is higher for infant skin. Because BP‑2 has measurable absorption in some studies and infants have higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barriers, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Hazard and mechanistic concerns remain 'suspected' (h=2, m=2).
