Frequently asked questions
- Is acid red 27 safe during pregnancy?
- No authoritative harmonised CLP (Annex VI) classification for reproductive toxicity or SCCS/CIR reproductive prohibition was identified; CIR/Cosmetic safety resources indicate this colourant is used/allowed in cosmetics and CIR has not issued a ‘harm’ finding. Available substance records and supplier SDSs list it as the azo dye Amaranth/Acid Red 27 (CAS 915-67-3) but do not provide peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data showing developmental or teratogenic effects. Sources: ECHA substance entry and cosmetics ingredient databases. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.011.839?utm_source=openai))
- Is acid red 27 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data identified showing reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, nor harmonised classification for effects on breastfed infants. By default and per CIR/CosIng status there is no high‑level regulatory flag for use in cosmetics; no clinical or animal studies were found that demonstrate transfer to milk or adverse effects in nursing infants. ([cosmeticsinfo.org](https://www.cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/red-27/?utm_source=openai))
- Is acid red 27 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism evidence for infant‑specific reproductive/toxic effects was not found (h=0,m=0). Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin (e=1) because Acid Red 27 is a relatively large, water‑soluble sulphonated azo dye with low expected dermal penetration in adults but cosmetics guidance and physico‑chemical data indicate it is not completely non‑absorbable; infants have an immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio so measurable (low) exposure is plausible. No infant‑specific adverse data were identified. ([worlddyevariety.com](https://www.worlddyevariety.com/acid-dyes/acid-red-27.html?utm_source=openai))
