VeriMomDois-je éviter ethoxyethanol pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom
2‑Ethoxyethanol (CAS 110‑80‑5) has a harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (H360: may damage fertility or the unborn child), which by your rules warrants h=3. Animal and mechanistic literature on ethylene glycol ethers (metabolism to alkoxyacetic acids causing embryotoxicity/hematotoxicity) supports a demonstrated mechanism (m=2). Dermal absorption is measurable in humans (in vitro human skin ~1/3 rat absorption), so topical exposure is low but measurable (e=1). (ECHA harmonised CLP; PubMed mechanistic and dermal absorption studies).

- 2‑Ethoxyethanol (CAS 110‑80‑5) has a harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (H360: may damage fertility or the unborn child), which by your rules warrants h=3.

- ethoxyethanol est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
- Harmonised classification (H360) and animal evidence of developmental/reproductive toxicity justify h=3 for lactation context under your priority rules even though specific human milk transfer data are limited. Mechanistic data showing bioactive metabolites are produced systemically support m=2. For cosmetic topical use, systemic absorption is low but measurable so milk exposure via topical use is possible but expected to be low (e=1).
- ethoxyethanol est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
- Hazard (h=3) is driven by the harmonised H360 reproductive/developmental classification and animal teratogenicity data; no infant‑specific data reduce that hazard. Mechanistic evidence remains demonstrated (m=2). Exposure is increased for infants due to higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier; since adult topical absorption is measurable (adult e=1) apply the +1 adjustment for baby skin → e=2. Note: infant dermal‑specific toxicity studies are lacking, so exposure/practical risk will depend on concentration and formulation.
