VeriMom¿Es arbutin seguro durante el embarazo?
Regulatory reviews (CIR) and SCCS-derived material do not indicate a harmonised reproductive classification for arbutin; no evidence of human teratogenicity or harmonised H360/H361 classification was found (CIR, SCCS, ECHA/CosIng). A theoretical mechanistic concern exists because arbutin can be enzymatically hydrolysed to hydroquinone (PubChem, PubMed), but there is no robust animal or human reproductive toxicity data implicating arbutin itself, so hazard is scored as 0 and mechanism as theoretical (1). Dermal absorption from typical cosmetic use is low but measurable, so exposure is scored as 1 (CIR, CosIng, PubChem).

Dermal absorption from typical cosmetic use is low but measurable, so exposure is scored as 1 (CIR, CosIng, PubChem).
- ¿Es arbutin seguro durante la lactancia?
- No data indicate arbutin is a reproductive or lactation toxicant and there is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI/CosIng). Theoretical concern from possible conversion to hydroquinone applies (PubChem, PubMed), but no demonstrated transfer into milk or breastfeeding-specific adverse effects were identified. Dermal exposure is low but measurable in cosmetics, so exposure is scored 1.
- ¿Es arbutin seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity evidence for arbutin was identified (CIR, SCCS, PubMed). Mechanistic concern (possible hydroquinone release) remains theoretical only. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, measurable adult dermal absorption (see above) leads to an increased exposure score for babies (+1), so exposure is scored 2.
