¿Es shellac seguro durante el embarazo?
Authoritative toxicology reviews (EFSA / JECFA re-evaluation) report two‑generation and prenatal developmental studies in rats and rabbits with no treatment‑related effects on fertility or fetal malformations at doses up to the highest tested; no harmonised reproductive hazard classification on ECHA was found and CIR lists shellac as a reviewed cosmetic ingredient. These lines of evidence support no reproductive hazard from the shellac polymer itself when used as in cosmetics (food‑coating/varnish data support low systemic toxicity). (EFSA/JECFA; ECHA; CIR).

- ¿Es shellac seguro durante el embarazo?
- Authoritative toxicology reviews (EFSA / JECFA re-evaluation) report two‑generation and prenatal developmental studies in rats and rabbits with no treatment‑related effects on fertility or fetal malformations at doses up to the highest tested; no harmonised reproductive hazard classification on ECHA was found and CIR lists shellac as a reviewed cosmetic ingredient.

- ¿Es shellac seguro durante la lactancia?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation‑specific toxicity in available animal studies submitted to EFSA/JECFA; no harmonised CLP classification for developmental/lactation effects and CIR review does not indicate breastfeeding risk. Therefore hazard and mechanism scores default to 0. Exposure from topical cosmetic use expected negligible. (EFSA/JECFA; CIR).
- ¿Es shellac seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant‑specific developmental toxicity data were identified; animal reproduction studies show no developmental toxicity at high oral doses. Shellac is a high‑molecular‑weight resin (low dermal penetration expected), so adult dermal exposure is negligible, but per guidance immature infant skin increases exposure potential — exposure score increased by +1. No evidence to raise hazard or mechanism scores for infants. (EFSA/JECFA; material characterisations).
