HIGH RISK

¿Debo evitar zinc pyrithione durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

Zinc pyrithione (CAS 13463-41-7) has a harmonised CLP classification including H360D (may damage the unborn child) recorded by ECHA - which mandates high hazard (h=3). Animal and embryonic models (e.g., zebrafish developmental toxicity and mechanistic studies showing oxidative damage, apoptosis and developmental gene changes) provide demonstrated mechanisms of developmental toxicity (m=2). Topical cosmetic exposure is measurable but generally limited for rinse‑off products (SCCS evaluated consumer exposure when concluding on safety), so exposure for pregnant adults is scored as low but measurable (e=1). Sources: ECHA harmonised classification / regulatory texts, SCCS opinion (2020), peer‑reviewed developmental/toxicogenomic studies.

Zinc pyrithione (CAS 13463-41-7) has a harmonised CLP classification including H360D (may damage the unborn child) recorded by ECHA - which mandates high hazard (h=3).

¿Es zinc pyrithione seguro durante la lactancia?
Harmonised CLP H360D and the EU regulatory action place zinc pyrithione as a reproductive toxicant (h=3). Mechanistic and animal/developmental data (see PubMed studies) support demonstrated developmental toxicity pathways (m=2). Breastfeeding exposure from typical topical cosmetic rinse‑off use is likely low but measurable (e=1); direct data on transfer into human milk are lacking, so exposure is conservatively scored as low but measurable.
¿Es zinc pyrithione seguro para la piel del bebé?
The substance carries harmonised H360D (h=3). Mechanistic/developmental toxicity evidence from animal/embryo studies supports demonstrated mechanisms (m=2). Per your guidance, infant exposure is increased by +1 relative to adults because infant skin has higher absorption / surface‑area‑to‑weight; with adult cosmetic exposure scored as measurable, infant exposure is scored as moderate (e=2). There are no infant‑specific safety data showing safety.
