Frequently asked questions
- Is 3-hexenol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was identified; ECHA registration dossier and supplier SDS report an OECD 422 combined repeated-dose/reproduction screening with a NOAEL ≈1000 mg/kg and no specific developmental/teratogenic findings, supporting no reproductive hazard at cosmetic exposure levels (ECHA registration dossier; supplier SDS). PubChem and EWG list the substance but do not report human reproductive evidence. (Sources: ECHA registration page; supplier SDS; PubChem; EWG).
- Is 3-hexenol safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive classification, no SCCS/CIR opinion, and available animal screening data (OECD 422 NOAEL ~1000 mg/kg) show no reproductive/developmental signal; therefore no specific breastfeeding hazard identified for cosmetic topical use at likely exposures (see ECHA dossier and SDS).
- Is 3-hexenol safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by reproductive/developmental evidence. Exposure was increased by +1 for infants because cis-3-hexenol is a small, somewhat volatile alcohol with measurable dermal/inhalation potential (SDS/ECHA data indicate systemic toxicity only at high doses), and infant skin has higher uptake per body weight—so exposure category is raised from 1 (adult) to 2 (baby 0–3 yr) as requested by the scoring rules.
