¿Es caproic acid seguro durante el embarazo?
No harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive toxicity for caproic (hexanoic) acid. PubChem/ECHA dossiers note local effects (irritation) but no reported teratogenicity; therefore no reproductive hazard identified. Dermal absorption from topical use is low but measurable for a small (C6) fatty acid, so exposure is scored as low/measurable. Sources: ECHA registration/CLP data (no harmonised CLP), PubChem, CosIng.

- No harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive toxicity for caproic (hexanoic) acid. PubChem/ECHA dossiers note local effects (irritation) but no reported teratogenicity; therefore no reproductive hazard identified. Dermal absorption from topical use is low but measurable for a small (C6) fatty acid, so exposure is scored as low/measurable.

- ¿Es caproic acid seguro durante la lactancia?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or harmonised classification. Systemic uptake from typical topical cosmetic use is expected to be low but measurable (small short-chain fatty acid), so low exposure to breast milk is plausible but not documented. Sources: PubChem, ECHA registration dossiers, CosIng.
- ¿Es caproic acid seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data or regulatory flags. Because caproic/hexanoic acid is a low-molecular-weight fatty acid with measurable dermal absorption in adults, infant exposure via skin is increased due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; exposure score increased by +1 per instructions. No evidence supports increasing hazard or mechanism scores for infants. Sources: PubChem, ECHA registration dossiers, CosIng.
