FAQ

¿Es zinc ethylhexanoate seguro durante el embarazo?

ECHA/CLH lists 2‑ethylhexanoic acid and its salts with a harmonised classification for reproductive toxicity (Repr.1B, H360D), which implicates metal salts including zinc 2‑ethylhexanoate by read‑across; registrants/SDSs for zinc bis(2‑ethylhexanoate) report H361d/H361. This gives a confirmed hazard for developmental/reproductive toxicity (h=3) with demonstrated mechanism evidence from animal/read‑across toxicology (m=2). Dermal exposure from typical topical cosmetic use is likely low but measurable (e=1) given absence of cosmetic dermal absorption data.

¿Es zinc ethylhexanoate seguro durante la lactancia?

Harmonised classification for parent acid and registrant read‑across to zinc salt indicate developmental/reproductive hazard; mechanism evidence is from animal/read‑across data. Breastmilk transfer is not directly reported for this salt (data gap), so exposure for breastfeeding is assumed similar to pregnancy (low but measurable dermal exposure from topical use).

¿Es zinc ethylhexanoate seguro para la piel del bebé?

Hazard (h=3) is inherited from the harmonised classification of the parent acid/salts. Mechanistic/read‑across evidence applies (m=2). Exposure score increased by +1 (e=2) for infant skin because immature barrier and higher surface‑area:weight raise potential systemic uptake if present in topical products; there are no infant‑specific dermal absorption or clinical data for this ingredient.
