VeriMom¿Debo evitar methyl salicylate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Harmonised CLP classification lists methyl salicylate as Repr. 2 (H361d), therefore it is scored h=2 (suspected reproductive toxicant). Animal/developmental studies showing reproductive/developmental effects and statements that effects are a function of systemic blood levels support a demonstrated mechanism (m=2). Topical cosmetic use results in low but measurable systemic exposure at typical use levels (SCCS/CIR assessments), so exposure is scored e=1. (Sources: ECHA harmonised classification; SCCS and CIR reviews).

FAQ
- ¿Es methyl salicylate seguro durante el embarazo?
- Harmonised CLP classification lists methyl salicylate as Repr. 2 (H361d), therefore it is scored h=2 (suspected reproductive toxicant). Animal/developmental studies showing reproductive/developmental effects and statements that effects are a function of systemic blood levels support a demonstrated mechanism (m=2). Topical cosmetic use results in low but measurable systemic exposure at typical use levels (SCCS/CIR assessments), so exposure is scored e=1. (Sources: ECHA harmonised classification; SCCS and CIR reviews).
- ¿Es methyl salicylate seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same harmonised reproductive classification applies to lactation concerns (h=2). Mechanistically, systemic absorption and metabolism to salicylate (which can distribute systemically and has been reported in blood) support demonstrated transfer potential (m=2). Dermal cosmetic use gives low but measurable maternal systemic exposure; therefore infant exposure via milk is possible but expected to be low (e=1).
- ¿Es methyl salicylate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- SCCS specifically reassessed children 0–3 years and set much lower safe-use limits (e.g., 0.02% in most products for 0–3 y), citing higher risk from systemic exposure in young children. Because harmonised H361d applies, hazard stays h=2. Mechanistic/animal data support demonstrated reproductive/developmental toxicity (m=2). Exposure for baby skin is increased by +1 relative to adults because of immature barrier and higher per‑kg uptake, so e=2 (adult e=1 → infant e=2).
