Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer (ECHA Annex VI contains no H360/H361 listings for this polymer), no CIR or SCCS safety assessments indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data indicating teratogenicity — polymeric film‑formers are generally high‑molecular‑weight with negligible systemic availability (sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR, PubMed/CosIng/PubChem data).
Is acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised or authoritative safety flags, lack of animal or human data showing lactation/transfer concerns, and expected minimal dermal absorption for high molecular weight acrylate copolymers used as film‑formers (sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem, no relevant PubMed reproductive/lactation studies identified).
Is acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or endocrine activity in the literature or regulatory assessments. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is negligible for this high‑molecular‑weight polymer, but infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant‑specific toxicity data found (sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem, PubMed).
