Frequently asked questions
- Is butylene glycol diisononanoate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns located for butylene glycol diisononanoate; no peer‑reviewed evidence of developmental or teratogenic effects. As a lipophilic diester emollient it has potential for low but measurable dermal absorption in adults (CosIng/PubChem physicochemical profile), so exposure is scored as low rather than negligible.
- Is butylene glycol diisononanoate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicating reproductive or lactation hazards (no harmonised classification, no CIR/SCCS warnings). Dermal absorption expected low but measurable in adults, so low exposure potential for nursing parent is assumed.
- Is butylene glycol diisononanoate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicity or developmental hazards found. Following guidance, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; adult low exposure (1) becomes moderate (2) for infant skin. No data justify increasing hazard or mechanism scores.
