¿Es maltitol seguro durante el embarazo?
Maltitol (CAS 585-88-6) is a sugar alcohol/humectant with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no credible published evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects in humans or animals in regulatory databases. ECHA listings and PubChem provide toxicology profiles that do not identify reproductive hazards, and maltitol is used in cosmetics and foods with low systemic toxicity (ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem, CosIng). Therefore no reproductive hazard is indicated and topical cosmetic exposure is expected to result in negligible systemic exposure.

Frequently asked questions
- ¿Es maltitol seguro durante el embarazo?
- Maltitol (CAS 585-88-6) is a sugar alcohol/humectant with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no credible published evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects in humans or animals in regulatory databases. ECHA listings and PubChem provide toxicology profiles that do not identify reproductive hazards, and maltitol is used in cosmetics and foods with low systemic toxicity (ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem, CosIng). Therefore no reproductive hazard is indicated and topical cosmetic exposure is expected to result in negligible systemic exposure.
- ¿Es maltitol seguro durante la lactancia?
- No data indicate reproductive or lactation-related toxicity for maltitol and there is no harmonised CLP classification for developmental or lactation hazards. Given its hydrophilic nature and use as a cosmetic humectant/sweetener, topical use is unlikely to produce meaningful systemic levels that would reach breast milk (ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem, CosIng).
- ¿Es maltitol seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant-specific hazards are identified. Hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 because no reproductive/developmental toxicity or endocrine activity is reported. Exposure score is increased to 1 for babies (0–3 yr) because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and a less mature barrier, so a hydrophilic, low-molecular-weight polyol like maltitol could have low but measurable percutaneous uptake relative to adults (CosIng, general dermal absorption principles).
