No harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361); the harmonised CLP (ECHA Annex VI) lists petroleum/crude oil as H350 (carcinogenicity) but not as a reproductive toxicant. CIR opinions on highly refined mineral oils indicate ‘safe as used’ for cosmetic topical uses; there is no consistent evidence of developmental/teratogenic effects in relevant human data to justify reproductive hazard. Dermal absorption from cosmetic topical use is low but measurable for some distillate fractions, so systemic exposure is possible (CIR, ECHA).

FAQ
- ¿Es petroleum distillates seguro durante el embarazo?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361); the harmonised CLP (ECHA Annex VI) lists petroleum/crude oil as H350 (carcinogenicity) but not as a reproductive toxicant.

- ¿Es petroleum distillates seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive/lactation classification. Maternal dermal exposure to petroleum distillates can result in low but measurable systemic absorption for some fractions; therefore transfer into breastmilk is theoretically possible but not documented as a specific lactation hazard in the authoritative sources. Avoid interpreting H350 (carcinogenicity) as evidence of reproductive hazard without H360/H361. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR).
- ¿Es petroleum distillates seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant-specific reproductive hazard data; therefore hazard score remains 0. Exposure score increased by +1 because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio, so a component that shows low measurable adult dermal absorption should give higher exposure in 0–3‑year‑old skin. Note that unrefined/petroleum-derived streams with PAH contamination carry additional carcinogenic concerns per ECHA Annex VI; cosmetic-grade highly refined derivatives (e.g., white oils, petrolatum) have much lower PAH content and are treated differently in safety assessments (CIR).
