Dois-je éviter benzophenone pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) re-evaluation (2020 report) concluded benzophenones (including benzophenone parent and common derivatives reviewed) are safe in cosmetics 'in the present practices of use and concentration' and the panel did not identify reproductive hazards for topical cosmetic use; REACH/ECHA registration dossiers and the NTP studies do not provide a harmonised CLP reproductive (H360/H361) classification for benzophenone parent that would override the CIR conclusion.

benzophenone est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) re-evaluation (2020 report) concluded benzophenones (including benzophenone parent and common derivatives reviewed) are safe in cosmetics 'in the present practices of use and concentration' and the panel did not identify reproductive hazards for topical cosmetic use; REACH/ECHA registration dossiers and the NTP studies do not provide a harmonised CLP reproductive (H360/H361) classification for benzophenone parent that would override the CIR conclusion. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/benzop092020TR.pdf))
benzophenone est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
No convincing human or animal evidence in the reviewed regulatory dossiers or CIR report showing benzophenone (CAS 119-61-9) causes reproductive/developmental toxicity from topical cosmetic exposure or is specifically contraindicated for lactation. Available toxicology (NTP, REACH registries) do not establish a confirmed reproductive hazard at cosmetic exposure levels. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/benzop092020TR.pdf))
benzophenone est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
CIR concluded benzophenones are safe as used in cosmetics; there is no infant‑specific evidence of reproductive or mechanistic hazard. However, because infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and generally more permeable barrier, a conservative slight increase in exposure scoring (+1) is applied even though adult topical absorption data for the parent benzophenone are limited in the CIR/REACH dossiers. (This elevates exposure only; hazard/mechanism unchanged in absence of infant‑specific adverse data). ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/benzop092020TR.pdf))
