Frequently asked questions
- Is c12-13 pareth-9 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction was found for C12-13 Pareth-9. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review entry and ECHA substance page list the substance as an ethoxylated C12–C13 fatty alcohol used as a non‑ionic surfactant/emulsifier and do not identify reproductive hazards; therefore following the provided rules the default score is 0. (See CIR summary and ECHA substance record.)
- Is c12-13 pareth-9 safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from CIR, ECHA or peer‑reviewed literature was located indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mechanisms (no demonstrated placental transfer, endocrine activity, or mammary toxicity). Regulatory and ingredient databases list this as an ethoxylated fatty alcohol surfactant without reproductive flags, so default scores are 0.
- Is c12-13 pareth-9 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific toxicology was located, so h and m remain 0. Exposure: C12‑13 Pareth‑9 is an ethoxylated surfactant with measurable skin‑contact uses (shampoos, baby care listed by suppliers/databases). Because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adult (per your instructions) to e=1; sources show it is used in baby products but contain no infant absorption/toxicity data.
