¿Debo evitar red petrolatum durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

For sufficiently refined petrolatum (CAS 8009-03-8) regulatory/read-across assessments find no indication of reproductive or developmental effects; ECHA/REACH registration summary and read-across developmental studies conclude sufficiently refined petrolatum is not classified for reproductive toxicity, while developmental hazards are associated with insufficiently refined material because of PAH impurities. Dermal absorption from topical petrolatum is considered negligible in standard assessments. (ECHA registration dossier; ECHA summary).

¿Es red petrolatum seguro durante el embarazo?
For sufficiently refined petrolatum (CAS 8009-03-8) regulatory/read-across assessments find no indication of reproductive or developmental effects; ECHA/REACH registration summary and read-across developmental studies conclude sufficiently refined petrolatum is not classified for reproductive toxicity, while developmental hazards are associated with insufficiently refined material because of PAH impurities. Dermal absorption from topical petrolatum is considered negligible in standard assessments. (ECHA registration dossier; ECHA summary).
¿Es red petrolatum seguro durante la lactancia?
No evidence of reproductive/human developmental hazard or mechanism indicating transfer into breastmilk for sufficiently refined petrolatum; assessments conclude adverse reproductive/developmental effects relate to unrefined/insufficiently refined feedstocks (PAH impurities). Topical petrolatum has negligible systemic absorption in typical cosmetic use, so breastmilk exposure is expected to be negligible. (ECHA registration dossier; Canada screening).
¿Es red petrolatum seguro para la piel del bebé?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive hazard data for sufficiently refined petrolatum. Exposure: because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier, the exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible adult dermal absorption to low but measurable in infants) per your scoring rules. Petrolatum acts primarily as an occlusive with minimal penetration when properly refined. Concerns about PAH contamination apply to insufficiently refined grades only. (ECHA dossier; Canada screening; EWG notes on contamination concerns).
