¿Es mek seguro durante el embarazo?
No EU harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361 for 2‑butanone) and major safety reviews (RIFM fragrance assessment; government toxicological summaries) do not identify 2‑butanone as a human teratogen at levels relevant to consumer use; reproductive/developmental effects are reported only at high occupational/inhalation exposures in animal or high‑dose studies. Adult topical cosmetic exposure is expected to give low but measurable systemic absorption (small, water‑miscible ketone). Sources: RIFM review and ECHA brief/profile; occupational toxicology summaries. (PubMed RIFM; ECHA; NIOSH).

- ¿Es mek seguro durante la lactancia?
- No evidence of a specific reproductive/milk‑transfer hazard or harmonised classification. 2‑Butanone is metabolised and excreted; systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is low but measurable so some maternal systemic absorption could occur, but there are no data indicating known risk to breastfed infants at cosmetic exposure levels. (RIFM review; government toxicology summaries).
- ¿Es mek seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant‑specific evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity from dermal exposure and no harmonised CMR classification, so hazard remains 0 by priority rules; however, because 2‑butanone has measurable dermal absorption in adults, baby skin exposure should be rated higher for exposure (increase +1 per instructions) due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, giving moderate exposure for 0–3 y. (RIFM; GOV.UK toxicological overview; NIOSH).
