Frequently asked questions

Is c10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns identified for C10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters. No peer-reviewed reports of developmental/reproductive toxicity for these esters; parent sterols are endogenous. Dermal absorption of large sterol esters is expected to be negligible for adult topical use, so reproductive hazard and mechanism are not indicated (sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, CosIng, PubChem, PubMed, CIR, EWG).
Is c10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of transfer into breast milk or lactation-related effects for these esters in regulatory databases or the literature. Given large molecular size and high lipophilicity, systemic exposure from normal topical use is expected to be negligible, so breastfeeding risk is not indicated (sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed, ECHA Annex VI).
Is c10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters safe for baby skin?
No reproductive/toxicologic signals specific to infants. However, infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier—so exposure rating is increased by +1 relative to adult. While adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for large sterol esters, measurable exposure in infants cannot be excluded; there are no infant-specific studies (sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed).
