¿Debo evitar peg-10 propylene glycol durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

No harmonised CLP reproductive (H360/H361 harmonised) classification for PEG‑10 propylene glycol was found; the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) re‑review (2016) found no developmental or reproductive (DART) studies and concluded the PEG‑propylene glycol esters (including PEG‑10 propylene glycol) are 'safe as used' in cosmetics. Registrations/notifications in ECHA dossiers sometimes show H361 as a self‑classification entry in registration dossiers or SDSs, but these are not harmonised classifications and do not override authoritative cosmetic safety assessments. Given the lack of DART data and CIR conclusion, hazard (h) is scored 0. Exposure (e) is low but measurable for topical cosmetic application in adults. Sources: CIR safety assessment; ECHA brief/profile noting non‑harmonised registration classifications; peer review on PEGs in dermatology.

¿Es peg-10 propylene glycol seguro durante el embarazo?
No harmonised CLP reproductive (H360/H361 harmonised) classification for PEG‑10 propylene glycol was found; the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) re‑review (2016) found no developmental or reproductive (DART) studies and concluded the PEG‑propylene glycol esters (including PEG‑10 propylene glycol) are 'safe as used' in cosmetics.

¿Es peg-10 propylene glycol seguro durante la lactancia?
There are no animal or human reproductive/developmental data implicating PEG‑10 propylene glycol in lactation or pup effects, and CIR concluded safety 'as used'. Topical use leads to low but measurable exposure in adults; systemic availability from typical cosmetic use is expected to be low, so breastfeeding hazard/mechanism scores remain 0 and exposure 1. As with pregnancy, watch for potential low‑level impurities from ethoxylation processes (industry concern), but no specific evidence for transfer into breastmilk was identified.
¿Es peg-10 propylene glycol seguro para la piel del bebé?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental adverse data were located for PEG‑10 propylene glycol. Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and an immature barrier, the exposure score is increased by +1 compared with adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Hazard and mechanism remain 0 in the absence of DART or endocrine activity data; CIR found no genotoxicity/DART/carcinogenicity data for these PEG‑propylene glycol esters and concluded they are safe as used in cosmetics.
