FAQ
- ¿Es hydroquinone seguro durante el embarazo?
- Hydroquinone is harmonised on ECHA pages with suspected carcinogenic (H351) and suspected mutagenic (H341) classifications, which per your scoring rules maps to h=2; mechanistic data show hydroquinone is metabolised to quinones and produces oxidative/genotoxic effects in vitro/in vivo (supporting m=2). Topical hydroquinone is substantially absorbed systemically (CIR review, StatPearls) so exposure from topical use is measurable (e=2). ([echa.europa.eu](https://www.echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.004.199?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es hydroquinone seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same hazard and mechanistic rationale apply for lactation (harmonised H-codes / genotoxic mechanisms → h=2, m=2). LactMed and clinical reviews advise caution because topical hydroquinone is absorbed and data in breastfeeding are limited; avoid or minimize use and prevent infant contact with treated skin (supporting e=2). ([echa.europa.eu](https://www.echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.004.199?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es hydroquinone seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism scores remain based on harmonised CLP classifications and genotoxic/oxidative metabolism (h=2, m=2). Exposure score is increased by +1 for infant skin because topical hydroquinone is measurably absorbed in adults and infant skin has higher per‑kg exposure and immature barrier — hence e=3 for 0–3 yr. Use on or near infant skin is not advised. ([echa.europa.eu](https://www.echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.004.199?utm_source=openai))
