FAQ

¿Es propylene glycol/sebacic acid/trimellitic anhydride copolymer seguro durante el embarazo?

No harmonised CMR classification or EU restriction was identified for this INCI; the CIR safety review of “trimellitic anhydride copolymers” (which includes Propylene Glycol/Sebacic Acid/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer) found very limited toxicology data, reported these ingredients as polymeric film‑formers used mainly in nail products, and concluded they would be expected to be safe for use in nail products at comparable concentrations. The polymer is high‑molecular‑weight and expected to sit on the surface (low dermal absorption). (CIR safety assessment).

¿Es propylene glycol/sebacic acid/trimellitic anhydride copolymer seguro durante la lactancia?

Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised H‑codes, no EU Annex II/III listing, and the CIR review found no reproductive/developmental data indicating risk from the polymeric ingredient itself. Expected low dermal absorption for the polymer means negligible exposure via topical cosmetic use during lactation; residual monomer levels were noted as possible but typically low. (CIR safety assessment).

¿Es propylene glycol/sebacic acid/trimellitic anhydride copolymer seguro para la piel del bebé?

Hazard remains low because there is no harmonised CMR classification or EU restriction for the polymer itself, but the polymer can contain trace residual monomers (the CIR review states residual monomers may be present at low levels) and infant skin has higher permeability. Per your scoring rules, where adult exposure is essentially negligible but not proven completely non‑absorbable, infant exposure is increased by one. Thus a conservative exposure score of 1 for 0–3 yr skin is applied; hazard is scored 1 only as a cautious/class‑based flag (polymeric ingredient with potential residual monomer). (CIR safety assessment).
