¿Debo evitar peg-120 propylene glycol stearate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

Authoritative cosmetic safety review (CIR final/amended safety assessment covering PEG‑25, PEG‑75, PEG‑120 propylene glycol stearates and related PEG propylene glycol esters) concludes these PEG‑propyl glycol stearate ingredients are safe as used in cosmetics and does not identify reproductive or developmental hazard. No harmonised EU reproductive classification (H360/H361) for this specific INCI was found in ECHA Annex VI. Peer‑reviewed searches did not identify primary animal reproductive/developmental data showing teratogenicity for PEG‑120 propylene glycol stearate itself. (CIR safety assessment; PubMed indexing of CIR report; EWG listing notes contamination concerns rather than confirmed reproductive toxicity).

¿Es peg-120 propylene glycol stearate seguro durante la lactancia?
No data indicating lactation/transfer concerns for PEG‑120 propylene glycol stearate. CIR assessment did not identify reproductive or systemic toxicity at cosmetic use levels; no evidence of a mechanism that would suggest significant breast‑milk transfer or breast‑feeding risk at normal topical cosmetic exposures. Contamination concerns (ethylene oxide/1,4‑dioxane) are separate and addressed by Good Manufacturing Practice and limits.

¿Es peg-120 propylene glycol stearate seguro para la piel del bebé?
Hazard and mechanism evidence remain absent for infant reproductive/developmental toxicity specific to this ingredient. However, immature infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so exposure score is increased by +1 (per your scoring rules). The CIR safety assessment supports 'safe as used' in cosmetics; NGOs (EWG) flag contamination concerns which affect product selection for infants but do not provide evidence of intrinsic reproductive toxicity of the PEG‑120 ester itself.
