Frequently asked questions
- Is bis-peg/ppg-20/20 dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or CIR/SCCS safety restriction was identified for bis‑PEG/PPG‑20/20 dimethicone; available regulatory and toxicology summaries (CosIng, PubChem) indicate it is a large, PEG/PPG‑modified silicone polymer with low systemic bioavailability when used topically, and no reproductive/developmental hazards reported in the sources searched (ECHA C&L, PubChem, CosIng, CIR, PubMed, EWG). Therefore default score 0 is appropriate.
- Is bis-peg/ppg-20/20 dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive classification or published evidence of maternal reproductive or lactational toxicity; topical use of high‑molecular‑weight silicone/PEG/PPG polymers generally shows negligible systemic absorption (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA data), so risk to nursing infant via milk is not supported by the sources searched.
- Is bis-peg/ppg-20/20 dimethicone safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental effects reported (h=0,m=0). Exposure: increased slightly (e=1) compared with adults because infant skin barrier is immature and surface‑area‑to‑weight is higher; although the ingredient is a large silicone/PEG/PPG polymer with low dermal absorption in adults, measurable absorption cannot be entirely excluded for infants so exposure score is increased by one.
