VeriMom¿Debo evitar triclocarban durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Animal developmental/reproductive studies show adverse outcomes after in utero/lactational triclocarban (TCC) exposure and SCCS/EU reviewers flagged TCC as a substance with potential endocrine‑disrupting and reproductive concerns; therefore reproductive hazard is 'suspected' (h=2). Mechanistic work shows TCC can modulate sex‑hormone signalling (e.g., enhances testosterone action and shows in vitro endocrine activity), so mechanism is demonstrated (m=2). Dermal/topical exposure produces measurable absorption and human biomonitoring detects TCC in people, but systemic exposures from ordinary cosmetic use are generally low — so exposure for pregnant adults is low but measurable (e=1). Sources: SCCS/EU opinion, animal and mechanistic studies, biomonitoring reports.

- ¿Es triclocarban seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same hazard and mechanistic evidence apply (animal reproductive effects and demonstrated endocrine activity → h=2, m=2). Lactational transfer and measurable levels in milk/blood have been reported in animal studies and SCCS materials, so exposure to nursing infants via milk is more than negligible — assign e=2 (moderate/measurable via milk). Sources: SCCS opinion and experimental lactation studies.
- ¿Es triclocarban seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism scores mirror adult/pregnancy because the evidence for reproductive/endocrine activity is not infant‑specific but is demonstrated (h=2, m=2). Because infant skin has higher per‑kg uptake and TCC is dermally absorbable and bioavailable (human biomonitoring and absorption data), increase exposure vs adult by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Sources: dermal absorption reports, biomonitoring, and SCCS opinion.
