VeriMom¿Debo evitar benzylparaben durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Benzylparaben (INCI: Benzylparaben, CAS 94-18-8) is restricted/prohibited for use in cosmetics in the EU (Annex II), and peer‑reviewed in vivo and in vitro studies show estrogenic (uterotrophic) activity for benzylparaben, supporting a suspected reproductive hazard (H361-level concern). Systemic exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is measurable but not high. Sources: EU cosmetics Annex II prohibition and rat uterotrophic study.

- ¿Es benzylparaben seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same hazard and mechanism considerations apply (suspected reproductive/estrogenic activity from animal and in vitro studies). Systemic absorption from topical use can lead to low but measurable maternal exposure; breastmilk transfer is plausible for lipophilic parabens though direct human lactation data for benzylparaben are limited. EU regulatory action reflects precaution. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23220609/?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es benzylparaben seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism remain suspected (animal/in vitro estrogenicity). Infant skin has higher absorption per bodyweight; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults (measurable dermal absorption of parabens reported), raising exposure to moderate for 0–3 yr topical contact. No infant‑specific developmental human studies were found. ([pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23220609/?utm_source=openai))
