Frequently asked questions

Is ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/SCCS-like restriction was identified and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment of dimethyltaurate/acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers includes ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate and lists typical product use levels (generally <~2%) with no reproductive hazard conclusion; there are no peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data for this polymer that would contradict the CIR/ECHA absence of classification. (CIR; ECHA; EWG).
Is ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: authoritative cosmetic safety review (CIR) covering dimethyltaurate polymers found no reproductive/developmental classification or warnings; no data show lactational transfer or reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use of this polymer. ECHA C&L inventory shows no harmonised classification. EWG lists the ingredient with a low concern score (1).
Is ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate safe for baby skin?
Polymers of this class are high‑molecular‑weight materials with negligible dermal penetration in standard formulations (CIR assessment and cosmetic use guidance). Adult dermal absorption is considered negligible for polymers; following your scoring rules, exposure (e) is increased by +1 for infants due to immature barrier/higher SA:BW; there is still no evidence of infant‑specific reproductive or mechanistic hazard. (CIR; product/tech datasheets).
