¿Debo evitar ethanolamine durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel (2015) reviewed animal and clinical data and concluded ethanolamine and its salts are safe in current cosmetic uses for rinse-off products when formulated to be non‑irritating; no harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (H360/H361) apply at EU Annex VI level. PubChem/ECHA dossiers list toxicity endpoints (irritation, acute toxicity) but do not provide a harmonised reproductive hazard; company C&L notifications alone are not sufficient to up‑rank reproductive hazard. Given its small size and some dermal penetration potential noted in general toxicokinetic data, topical exposure is low but measurable for adults (hence e=1).

- ¿Es ethanolamine seguro durante la lactancia?
- No authoritative sources (CIR, harmonised CLP, SCCS) identify ethanolamine as a reproductive/developmental toxicant or as causing adverse effects in breast‑fed children; CIR explicitly concluded safety in rinse‑off cosmetics when non‑irritating. Mechanistic or placental/breastmilk transfer evidence was not found in the reviewed dossiers. Dermal exposure from cosmetics to the lactating parent is expected to be low but measurable (so exposure score e=1).
- ¿Es ethanolamine seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant‑specific developmental/dermal toxicity or clinical evidence was identified in CIR or ECHA that indicates ethanolamine causes reproductive or developmental harm in infants; there is no harmonised H360/H361 classification. Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has a thinner barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, and ethanolamine is a small, water‑soluble molecule with measurable dermal uptake in general, exposure is scored one category higher than adult (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Note CIR’s safety conclusion was limited to rinse‑off formulations formulated to be non‑irritating and advising against products where N‑nitrosamines could form.
