¿Es melatonin seguro durante el embarazo?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR cosmetic prohibition was identified (ECHA Annex VI / CosIng). Peer‑reviewed literature shows melatonin crosses the placenta (demonstrated placental transfer) but human teratogenicity is not established, so hazard is not confirmed while mechanism (transfer) is demonstrated. Topical cosmetic dermal absorption is plausible and measurable (small, lipophilic molecule) but expected to be low for typical cosmetic use.

- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR cosmetic prohibition was identified (ECHA Annex VI / CosIng).

- ¿Es melatonin seguro durante la lactancia?
- No harmonised reproductive hazard classification (ECHA Annex VI). Melatonin is known to appear in human breast milk (demonstrated transfer), so mechanism of exposure to infant via milk is demonstrated; however there is no convincing clinical evidence that topical cosmetic use causes harm to breastfed infants. Systemic exposure from topical use is expected to be low but measurable.
- ¿Es melatonin seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No evidence of intrinsic developmental/dermal hazard for infants (no ECHA harmonised H360/H361, no CIR/SCCS prohibition). No infant‑specific mechanism data found. Dermal exposure score increased because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and more permeable barrier, so measurable absorption for an ingredient that is not completely non‑absorbable warrants higher exposure rating than adult topical use.
