VeriMom¿Es pectin seguro durante el embarazo?
Pectin (CAS 9000-69-5) is a high‑molecular‑weight plant polysaccharide used as a gelling/thickening agent. There is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification for pectin, no CIR or SCCS finding of reproductive hazard, and no credible animal or human evidence indicating teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity in the cosmetic context; dermal/topical absorption is negligible given its size and physicochemistry (supports low exposure from cosmetics). Sources reviewed: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem/CosIng, peer‑reviewed literature and EWG consensus of low hazard.

- Pectin (CAS 9000-69-5) is a high‑molecular‑weight plant polysaccharide used as a gelling/thickening agent. There is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification for pectin, no CIR or SCCS finding of reproductive hazard, and no credible animal or human evidence indicating teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity in the cosmetic context; dermal/topical absorption is negligible given its size and physicochemistry (supports low exposure from cosmetics). Sources reviewed: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem/CosIng, peer‑reviewed literature and EWG consensus of low hazard.
- ¿Es pectin seguro durante la lactancia?
- No evidence for reproductive or lactation toxicity from topical or dietary pectin at cosmetic exposure levels. Pectin is a widely used food additive (oral exposure) without signals for lactation‑related harm; topical absorption is negligible, so exposure to breast milk from maternal cosmetic topical use is not expected.
- ¿Es pectin seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/toxic effects reported. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is negligible (e=0), but per infant adjustment rules the exposure score is increased by +1 because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier; however pectin’s high molecular weight and low skin penetration mean exposure remains low. No data indicate infant skin toxicity or sensitization at cosmetic use levels.
