VeriMom¿Debo evitar propylene glycol stearate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361 harmonised listing found on ECHA), and Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) concluded propylene glycol esters (including propylene glycol stearate/monostearate) are safe as used in cosmetics; the substance is a large, lipophilic ester with low dermal absorption though it can hydrolyze to propylene glycol and fatty acids (CIR, ECHA dossiers). Therefore default hazard = 0; mechanism = 0 (no known reproductive mechanism); exposure = 1 (low but measurable dermal exposure). Sources: CIR safety assessment of propylene glycol esters; ECHA registration/registration dossier statements; COSING/COSMETICS ingredient entries.

- ¿Es propylene glycol stearate seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no evidence of reproductive/developmental toxicity, no harmonised CLP classification, and CIR concluded safety in cosmetic use. Dermal exposure from topical products is low but measurable; transfer into breastmilk is not reported for this ester specifically. Hydrolysis to propylene glycol (well-characterized) is possible but does not imply breastfeeding-specific hazard at cosmetic exposures.
- ¿Es propylene glycol stearate seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism unchanged (no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for the ingredient itself). Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight increase systemic uptake relative to adults; the parent ester is relatively large and not highly dermally permeable, but measurable absorption and potential hydrolysis to propylene glycol justify a baby exposure score of 2. CIR and other safety reviews do not identify infant‑specific hazards but data are limited.
