FAQ

Why look for alternatives to iodopropynyl butylcarbamate?

ECHA (harmonised CLP, Commission Delegated Regulation amending Annex VI / 23rd ATP, 2025) lists 3‑iodo‑2‑propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC; CAS 55406‑53‑6) with a reproductive classification (suspected effect on fertility; H361f), which by your scoring rules maps to h=2. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) safety assessment (re‑review) concluded IPBC is 'safe as used' at low cosmetic concentrations (≤0.1%) but noted use restrictions and that most use concentrations are ≈0.01% and one regulatory label warning 'Not to be used for children under 3 years of age'; topical exposure from cosmetics is therefore low but measurable (evidence: CIR absorption/distribution discussion). Sources: ECHA/Official Journal harmonised CLP and CIR review.

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
