FAQ

pyrocatechol est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?

CIR/CosmeticsInfo conclude pyrocatechol (catechol) produced developmental effects after oral exposure and — because it is skin‑absorbable — the CIR Expert Panel judged it unsafe for leave‑on cosmetic use, supporting a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (consistent with H361-level concern but not H360). Dermal absorption from leave‑on products was highlighted as a significant exposure concern. (CIR/CosmeticsInfo).

pyrocatechol est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?

Same hazard level as pregnancy because developmental/repro effects were reported in experimental studies and CIR flagged safety concerns. There are no reliable data on placental/breastmilk transfer; expected exposure during topical maternal use is low‑to‑measurable for rinse‑off but higher for leave‑on — so breastfeeding exposure is assessed as low but measurable in the absence of milk transfer data.

pyrocatechol est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?

CIR explicitly concluded pyrocatechol is unsafe for leave‑on cosmetic products because of skin absorption and developmental/carcinogenic/cocarcinogenic findings; immature infant skin raises systemic uptake, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 y infants (resulting in high exposure). No infant‑specific mechanistic evidence was identified to change hazard or mechanism scores.
