VeriMomDois-je éviter m-cresol pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom
ECHA lists m‑cresol (CAS 108‑39‑4) with a harmonised CLP reproductive toxicity classification H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child), which justifies h=2. Peer‑reviewed RIFM review and REACH registration data report animal reproductive/developmental findings but no well‑characterised molecular reproductive mechanism, so m=1 (theoretical/limited mechanistic concern). Dermal/topical absorption is low but measurable for cresols; for typical cosmetic topical use exposure is assessed as low → e=1. Sources: harmonised CLP entry (ECHA) and RIFM/registration dossiers.

FAQ
- m-cresol est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?
- ECHA lists m‑cresol (CAS 108‑39‑4) with a harmonised CLP reproductive toxicity classification H361 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child), which justifies h=2. Peer‑reviewed RIFM review and REACH registration data report animal reproductive/developmental findings but no well‑characterised molecular reproductive mechanism, so m=1 (theoretical/limited mechanistic concern). Dermal/topical absorption is low but measurable for cresols; for typical cosmetic topical use exposure is assessed as low → e=1. Sources: harmonised CLP entry (ECHA) and RIFM/registration dossiers.
- m-cresol est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
- Same hazard basis as pregnancy (harmonised H361 and animal data) → h=2. No infant‑specific mechanistic data for lactational transfer, so m=1. Dermal exposure during breastfeeding from topical cosmetics is low but measurable → e=1 (systemic transfer via breast milk not demonstrated in humans in available sources).
- m-cresol est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
- Hazard remains H361‑level evidence from harmonised CLP and animal data → h=2. Mechanistic evidence not well described → m=1. Exposure score increased by +1 for babies (protocol): adult topical e=1 becomes e=2 for 0–3‑year skin because cresols are dermally active/corrosive and infant skin has higher absorption — increasing exposure concern for infants.
- Comment VeriMom évalue-t-il m-cresol ?
