FAQ
- potassium borate é seguro durante a gravidez?
- Boron-containing borates break down to boric acid which is classified for reproductive toxicity (Repr.1B, H360FD) in CLP/Annex VI and has repeated animal developmental/reproductive effects; therefore reproductive hazard for pregnancy is confirmed (H360 → h=3). Mechanistic evidence includes demonstrated developmental toxicity in animal studies (reduced fetal weight, malformations) and systemic distribution of boron after exposure. Dermal cosmetic exposures give low but measurable systemic uptake. ([health.ec.europa.eu](https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/safety-boron-compounds-cosmetic-products_en))
- potassium borate é seguro durante a amamentação?
- Because borates produce boric acid (Repr.1B H360FD) and boron can distribute in body fluids (some studies report boron in milk), agencies advise precaution for lactation. Animal studies show postnatal effects after maternal exposure; human milk data are limited but detectable boron has been measured in human milk. Systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use is generally low but not zero. ([health.ec.europa.eu](https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/safety-boron-compounds-cosmetic-products_en))
- potassium borate é seguro para a pele do bebê?
- Regulatory authorities treat borates/boric acid as reproductive/developmental hazards and EU cosmetic rules specifically restrict/ban borates for products intended for or used on children under 3 years. Infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight) so exposure score is increased by +1 versus adult. The SCCS concluded borates hydrolyse to boric acid and the restrictions for boric acid should apply to borates.
