FAQ
- 4-methylbenzylidene camphor은 임신 중 안전한가요?
- Authoritative EU committee work (SCCS / related opinions) reports that 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) exhibits endocrine‑disrupting activity (thyroid and estrogen systems) and that safety could not be confirmed because of data gaps (including genotoxicity uncertainties), supporting a 'suspected' reproductive hazard. Dermal kinetic studies in humans show measurable systemic absorption/metabolites after topical application, and multiple studies report detection of 4-MBC or metabolites in human tissues/fluids, supporting moderate exposure from cosmetics. Sources: SCCS opinion (EU/European Commission), human dermal kinetics and biomonitoring studies.
- 4-methylbenzylidene camphor은 모유 수유 중 안전한가요?
- 4-MBC has been measured in human breast milk and breast tissue in several studies, demonstrating maternal body burden and a plausible exposure route to nursing infants; combined with demonstrated endocrine activity in in vivo and in vitro studies, this supports a 'suspected' hazard and demonstrated mechanism. Measured systemic levels after dermal use indicate moderate likelihood of transfer to milk. Sources: biomonitoring and kinetics studies, SCCS discussion.
- 4-methylbenzylidene camphor은 아기 피부에 안전한가요?
- Hazard and mechanism scores are the same as for adults because evidence of endocrine activity and reproductive/developmental effects comes from animal and mechanistic studies (SCCS and peer‑reviewed literature). Because 4-MBC is lipophilic, dermally absorbable and has measurable systemic uptake in adults, infant skin exposure should be considered higher: per the requested framework, increase exposure by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult e=2 → infant e=3). Additionally, 4-MBC has been shown to bioaccumulate and to produce endocrine effects in developing models (fish/rodent), increasing concern for infants.
