Frequently asked questions

Is bis-hydroxyethoxypropyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No evidence of reproductive or teratogenic hazard located in primary regulatory sources. This ingredient is a silicone (dimethicone derivative) used as an emollient; it is not listed in ECHA Annex VI harmonised classifications nor in CIR or SCCS as a reproductive hazard, and no published animal/human reproductive toxicity data were identified in standard databases.
Is bis-hydroxyethoxypropyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating transfer to breast milk or reproductive toxicity. No harmonised CLP classification or CIR/SCCS safety concern identified; therefore default no-evidence scores apply.
Is bis-hydroxyethoxypropyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
No intrinsic reproductive hazard identified (h=0, m=0). Exposure score raised to 1 for infants versus adults because silicones/dimethicone derivatives are not completely non-absorbable and infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, so low but measurable dermal exposure is plausible.
