VeriMom¿Es xanthan gum seguro durante el embarazo?
Xanthan gum (CAS 11138-66-2) has no harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and has been evaluated as safe for cosmetic use (CIR/CosIng/PubChem summaries report low toxicity and lack of reproductive signals). No reliable animal or human reproductive toxicity evidence was identified in regulatory reviews or peer‑reviewed summaries, so hazard and mechanism are scored 0 and dermal exposure from cosmetics is negligible (e.g., not appreciably absorbed). Sources: CIR, ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised CLP), PubChem, CosIng.

Frequently asked questions
- ¿Es xanthan gum seguro durante el embarazo?
- Xanthan gum (CAS 11138-66-2) has no harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and has been evaluated as safe for cosmetic use (CIR/CosIng/PubChem summaries report low toxicity and lack of reproductive signals). No reliable animal or human reproductive toxicity evidence was identified in regulatory reviews or peer‑reviewed summaries, so hazard and mechanism are scored 0 and dermal exposure from cosmetics is negligible (e.g., not appreciably absorbed). Sources: CIR, ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised CLP), PubChem, CosIng.
- ¿Es xanthan gum seguro durante la lactancia?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation hazard; xanthan gum is a large, water‑soluble polysaccharide with negligible dermal/systemic absorption in cosmetic use. Therefore no expected risk to breastfeeding mothers or transfer into breast milk under normal topical cosmetic use. Sources: CIR, PubChem, CosIng.
- ¿Es xanthan gum seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence of reproductive/toxic effects). Dermal exposure score is increased to 1 for infants because while xanthan gum is poorly absorbed, infant skin barrier immaturity and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight justify a small increase in exposure potential. Xanthan gum is widely used in baby products as a thickener and is not known to penetrate intact skin. Sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem.
