FAQ
- ¿Es potassium fructoborate seguro durante el embarazo?
- Boric acid and several borates have a harmonised CLP classification Repr.1B H360FD (may damage fertility/ the unborn child); SCCS assessed borates and concluded many break down to boric acid, and EU Cosmetic Regulation restricts boric acid/borates. Because potassium fructoborate is an organoboron salt that yields boron/boric acid, the highest reproductive hazard category (H360 → h=3) applies; mechanistic evidence for in vivo developmental/reproductive effects exists for boron compounds so m=2. Dermal cosmetic exposure is low but measurable, so e=1. Sources: SCCS opinion on boron compounds; CLP Annex VI / Commission Delegated Regulation; EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III.
- ¿Es potassium fructoborate seguro durante la lactancia?
- Harmonised classification for boric acid (H360FD) and the SCCS conclusion on borates imply a reproductive/developmental hazard that is relevant to lactation (systemic maternal exposure could pose risk). Mechanistic/demonstrated reproductive toxicity for boron compounds supports m=2. Topical cosmetics give low but non‑zero dermal absorption, so e=1 for breastfeeding (no direct data for potassium fructoborate transfer into milk).
- ¿Es potassium fructoborate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex III explicitly restricts boric acid/borates and includes a specific limitation: 'Not to be used in products for children under 3 years of age' (showing regulatory concern for infant skin exposure). Harmonised CLP for boric acid (H360FD) applies to borates derived from organoboron esters, so h=3; mechanistic evidence for reproductive/developmental toxicity of boron compounds supports m=2. Because infant skin has higher uptake, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2).
