Frequently asked questions
- Is anhydroxylitol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications, no SCCS/SCCP or CIR finding of reproductive hazard for anhydroxylitol; the CIR-class (Saccharide Humectants) safety assessment concluded use up to ~1.5% in cosmetics does not pose unreasonable risk and relied on existing toxicology (no reproductive/developmental signals reported). PubChem/CIR physicochemical data show low logP (≈-1.7) and low molecular weight (≈134 Da) with potential for some dermal absorption, so exposure from topical use is low but measurable. (Sources: CIR Saccharide Humectants safety assessment; PubChem; EWG summary).
- Is anhydroxylitol safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or transfer to breastmilk. With no demonstrated reproductive mechanism or animal/human developmental effects in reviewed sources, hazard and mechanism scores remain 0; dermal exposure from cosmetics is low but measurable (same rationale as pregnancy).
- Is anhydroxylitol safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific toxicity or developmental studies were found. CIR assessment and other data showed no reproductive/developmental hazard. Because anhydroxylitol has potential for dermal absorption in adults, infant exposure score is increased by +1 per your rules (immature barrier/higher surface-area-to-weight), giving a moderate exposure rating for 0–3 yr skin; no infant-specific hazard or mechanism evidence was identified.
