VeriMom¿Es sodium hydroxide seguro durante el embarazo?
Sodium hydroxide is harmonised classified for skin/eye corrosion (ECHA Annex VI H314) but not for reproductive or developmental toxicity. It acts as a strong caustic base with local corrosive effects; there is no evidence of systemic reproductive toxicity in regulatory sources. In cosmetic use the material is typically neutralised/used at low residual levels as a pH adjuster, so systemic exposure is negligible (sources: ECHA Annex VI H314; PubChem GHS; CosIng entries for pH adjusters).

- ¿Es sodium hydroxide seguro durante el embarazo?
- Sodium hydroxide is harmonised classified for skin/eye corrosion (ECHA Annex VI H314) but not for reproductive or developmental toxicity. It acts as a strong caustic base with local corrosive effects; there is no evidence of systemic reproductive toxicity in regulatory sources. In cosmetic use the material is typically neutralised/used at low residual levels as a pH adjuster, so systemic exposure is negligible (sources: ECHA Annex VI H314; PubChem GHS; CosIng entries for pH adjusters).
- ¿Es sodium hydroxide seguro durante la lactancia?
- No reproductive or lactation-specific hazards are identified in harmonised classifications or major safety reviews. Sodium hydroxide's hazard is local causticity rather than systemic toxicity; with appropriate formulation/neutralisation there is negligible systemic absorption and therefore negligible exposure via breast milk (sources: ECHA Annex VI H314; PubChem).
- ¿Es sodium hydroxide seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Primary risk to infants is local irritation/burn if the product is strongly alkaline. There is no evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity. For normal cosmetic formulations sodium hydroxide is used to adjust pH and is present only in neutralised/low residual amounts, so systemic exposure is negligible. However, because infant skin is more sensitive, products for babies must be properly formulated to neutral pH to avoid local corrosive/irritant effects (sources: ECHA Annex VI H314; CosIng general notes on pH adjusters).
