¿Debo evitar phthalic anhydride/butyl benzoic acid/propylene glycol copolymer durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
ECHA and regulatory summaries list phthalic anhydride with H361 ("suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child"); that gives a regulatory-based reproductive concern applied to the parent monomer. The ingredient used in cosmetics is a copolymer (phthalic anhydride/butyl benzoic acid/propylene glycol copolymer) and, as a polymeric film‑former, is expected to have very low dermal absorption, so exposure from typical topical cosmetic use is likely negligible. (Sources: ECHA classification/brief profile; CosIng/INCI entries describing the substance as a polymer).

- ECHA and regulatory summaries list phthalic anhydride with H361 ("suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child"); that gives a regulatory-based reproductive concern applied to the parent monomer.

- ¿Es phthalic anhydride/butyl benzoic acid/propylene glycol copolymer seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: the harmonised/suspected reproductive classification applies to phthalic anhydride monomer (H361). The polymeric cosmetic ingredient is a high‑molecular‑weight film former with low expected percutaneous absorption, so transfer into milk is unlikely from normal topical use. No breastfeeding‑specific data were found. (Sources: ECHA brief profile; CosIng/INCI listings).
- ¿Es phthalic anhydride/butyl benzoic acid/propylene glycol copolymer seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard (H361) remains based on the parent monomer; no infant‑specific reproductive data were found. Exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin because infants have a thinner barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; although the polymer is expected to have low absorption in adults, infant skin increases the potential for some absorption compared with adults. No studies showing placental transfer, lactational transfer, or infant toxicity for this specific copolymer were located. (Sources: ECHA; CosIng/INCI).
