¿Es o-cresol seguro durante el embarazo?

o-Cresol has an EU harmonised CLP classification as H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child), so reproductive hazard is suspected (ECHA). Animal developmental studies report fetal effects/LOAELs at relatively high oral doses, but no clear human data; therefore hazard is scored 2 (suspected). Dermal/topical exposure from cosmetics would be low but measurable (adult exposure e=1). ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.002.204?utm_source=openai))

¿Es o-cresol seguro durante la lactancia?

Same harmonised suspicion (H361) applies for reproductive/developmental hazard; there are animal data showing developmental effects at high doses though no human breastfeeding-specific studies. Mechanistic evidence for lactational transfer is not established, so m=0. Dermal cosmetic exposure is low but measurable for adults (e=1). ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.002.204?utm_source=openai))

¿Es o-cresol seguro para la piel del bebé?

Hazard remains suspected (H361 - harmonised). No infant-specific mechanistic data were found, so m stays 0. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because infant skin has higher absorption and if adult topical absorption is measurable (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No data found showing safe use on infant (0–3 yr) skin. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.002.204?utm_source=openai))
