No harmonised EU CMR classification (Annex VI) or EU Annex II/III restriction was identified for propylene glycol behenate; the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) and related safety assessments for glyceryl/propylene glycol esters describe these long‑chain monoesters as ‘safe as used’ in cosmetics and report no reproductive/developmental hazard data. Topical cosmetic use therefore has low but measurable exposure. (CIR safety assessment; CIR Quick Reference Table; ingredient databases).

- ¿Es propylene glycol behenate seguro durante la lactancia?
- No data found showing reproductive/developmental or lactation transfer hazards for this monoester. Given low dermal absorption expected for long‑chain fatty acid esters and the CIR conclusion of safe use in cosmetics, systemic exposure in breastfeeding people is expected to be low but not zero. No evidence of a mechanism to target breast milk. ([cir-safety.org](https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/monoglyceryl%20monoesters.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es propylene glycol behenate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity studies were located. The ingredient is a long‑chain fatty acid monoester (low water solubility, high lipophilicity) and is used as an emollient/conditioning agent; dermal absorption is expected to be low in adults but infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 year skin. No evidence of developmental/teratogenic activity for the compound itself in PubMed/CIR materials.
