Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer safe during pregnancy?
Acrylates/behene th‑25 methacrylate copolymer is a high‑molecular‑weight cosmetic polymer used as a film former. There is no harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety signal, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity or endocrine activity in available sources (CosIng, PubChem/ECHA registrations). High‑MW polymers of this type are generally not systemically absorbed following topical use, so default hazard and mechanism scores are 0.
Is acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicate reproductive or lactation‑related toxicity and no harmonised classification. As a large polymeric ingredient with negligible dermal absorption expected, systemic exposure during breastfeeding is unlikely (CosIng; ECHA records show no CLP reproductive hazard).
Is acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
For infants 0–3 yr, no infant‑specific toxicity or absorption data were identified. Because this is a high‑MW, non‑soluble polymeric film former, adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible and infant exposure is not expected to be meaningfully higher; therefore exposure score remains 0. No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism evidence was found.
