Dois-je éviter hexane pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom
n‑Hexane (CAS 110‑54‑3) is classified for reproductive toxicity as H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child) in ECHA/CLP-related sources and is listed by California OEHHA (Proposition 65) for reproductive toxicity; animal (inhalation) studies (NTP and others) report reproductive/testicular effects, so reproductive hazard is 'suspected'. The mechanism is reasonably well supported in animals via metabolism to neuro- and gonadotoxic metabolites (e.g. 2,5‑hexanedione) rather than a classic developmental teratogen, so mechanism score = 2. For typical topical cosmetic use residual hexane exposure would be low (volatile, poorly water‑soluble, usually used as an extraction solvent and removed), so exposure score = 1. Sources: ECHA registration/classification material, NTP/PubMed inhalation studies, OEHHA Prop 65 listing, PubChem/EWG summaries.

- n‑Hexane (CAS 110‑54‑3) is classified for reproductive toxicity as H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child) in ECHA/CLP-related sources and is listed by California OEHHA (Proposition 65) for reproductive toxicity; animal (inhalation) studies (NTP and others) report reproductive/testicular effects, so reproductive hazard is 'suspected'.

- hexane est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
- Hazard and mechanism mirror pregnancy (H361 / animal reproductive/testicular effects; metabolite‑mediated toxicity). Hexane is lipophilic and volatile; however, for normal cosmetic use any residual amounts are expected to be low and systemic levels in the lactating parent would be low, so infant exposure via breastmilk from typical topical cosmetic use is likely low but not zero.
- hexane est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
- Hazard and mechanism remain as above (animal reproductive/testicular effects; metabolite‑mediated). Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults when measurable absorption is possible; therefore exposure = 2 for baby skin where residual hexane might be present (e.g., in extracts/absolutes).
