VeriMom¿Debo evitar hexyl salicylate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Hexyl salicylate has been assessed by ECHA/RAC and recommended for harmonised classification as Repr.2 (H361d, 'suspected of damaging the unborn child'), which supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard. The mechanistic evidence for reproductive toxicity is limited (SCCS and RAC noted concerns including potential endocrine-related effects but did not identify a well-characterised molecular mechanism), so mechanism is scored as theoretical. Topical cosmetic use gives measurable systemic exposure for a lipophilic ester (log Kow ~5) and the SCCS performed exposure-driven assessments and set use/concentration limits, consistent with a moderate exposure score.

FAQ
- ¿Es hexyl salicylate seguro durante el embarazo?
- Hexyl salicylate has been assessed by ECHA/RAC and recommended for harmonised classification as Repr.2 (H361d, 'suspected of damaging the unborn child'), which supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard.

- ¿Es hexyl salicylate seguro durante la lactancia?
- Because hexyl salicylate is classified Repr.2 (H361d) and is lipophilic with potential for systemic absorption after topical use, a similar 'suspected' hazard rating is applied for breastfeeding. There is no high-quality human milk transfer data or demonstrated mechanism linked specifically to lactational transfer, so mechanism is theoretical, and exposure from topical use is rated moderate (SCCS evaluated consumer exposures).
- ¿Es hexyl salicylate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- SCCS assessed hexyl salicylate for children 0–3 years and provided guidance/limits; combined with the harmonised Repr.2 classification the hazard remains 'suspected' for infant exposure. Mechanistic data specific to infants is lacking. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier function, exposure is increased by +1 (moderate→high) relative to adults for topical use — SCCS specifically considered young children in its addendum.
