Frequently asked questions

Is acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer safe during pregnancy?
Acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer is a high‑MW polymeric thickener with no harmonised reproductive hazard (no listing in ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive toxicity; peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity evidence is lacking. Polymers of this type are considered to have negligible dermal absorption in cosmetic use (CosIng, PubChem descriptions).
Is acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicate maternal reproductive or lactational transfer risk from the crosspolymer itself; high molecular weight and polymeric nature make systemic absorption unlikely, so exposure to breastfed infants via milk is not expected.
Is acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
The polymer is large and not expected to penetrate the skin; therefore exposure via topical use on infant skin is expected to be negligible. Per instructions, infant exposure was not increased because the adult exposure is considered negligible. Note: if a formulation contains measurable residual ethylhexyl acrylate monomer, infant exposure could be higher and would require assessment.
How does VeriMom score acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer?
VeriMom scores acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate crosspolymer at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
