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.
