VeriMom¿Debo evitar melamine durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Melamine (CAS 108-78-1) is flagged by ECHA/REACH processes (candidate SVHC; SDSs/ECHA listings show H361f in some notices) and animal studies report embryo/fetotoxic and reproductive effects at high oral doses in rodents, so it meets “suspected” reproductive hazard (H361-level). Mechanistic work (rodent and in vitro studies) shows effects on oocytes, placental/fetal growth and increased apoptosis, supporting a demonstrated mechanism. Dermal/topical exposure from cosmetics is expected to give low but measurable systemic exposure (dermal absorption described as poor in some assessments but not zero), so exposure score is low (1). Sources: ECHA listing, Canada/ECCC human-health update, NTP and peer-reviewed developmental/reproductive studies.

- ¿Es melamine seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same hazard and mechanism rationale as pregnancy (animal reproductive and perinatal effects; mechanistic studies). For topical cosmetic use systemic levels are expected to be low but measurable, so breastmilk transfer potential is low but possible—exposure scored 1 in absence of specific lactation transfer data.
- ¿Es melamine seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanistic evidence come from the same animal and in vitro literature and support ‘suspected’ reproductive/developmental toxicity. Dermal exposure for infants is assigned one tier higher than adults because infant skin is more permeable; therefore exposure is increased to 2 (moderate) if the ingredient has measurable absorption. There is no infant-specific toxicokinetic evidence to change hazard/mechanism scores.
