¿Debo evitar propylene glycol dicaprylate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
No harmonised CLP (Annex VI) reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR determination listing reproductive toxicity for propylene glycol dicaprylate was found; CIR reviews of glycol esters list dicaprylate species without reproductive hazards identified, and ECHA registration pages list the substance but do not show a harmonised H360/H361 classification. Dermal absorption is expected to be low to low‑moderate for a relatively large, lipophilic diester used as an emollient, so exposure from normal cosmetic topical use is low but measurable.

- ¿Es propylene glycol dicaprylate seguro durante la lactancia?
- No evidence in SCCS/CIR/peer‑reviewed literature or ECHA harmonised classification indicating reproductive or lactation hazards or known transfer into breastmilk for this specific diester. Topical exposure from cosmetics would give low but measurable systemic exposure in adults (similar to pregnancy).

- ¿Es propylene glycol dicaprylate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant‑specific safety or developmental toxicity data were found. Because the compound is a relatively lipophilic ester with measurable dermal availability in formulations (used as an emollient/solvent), immature infant skin gives higher absorption — so exposure score for 0–3 yr is increased by +1 versus adults. No data were found indicating increased hazard to infants. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/pgesters.pdf?utm_source=openai))
