Frequently asked questions
- Is c12-16 alcohols safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR flags for reproductive toxicity; CIR and regulatory sources consider long‑chain fatty alcohols safe as used in cosmetics. Dermal absorption is low but measurable for long‑chain fatty alcohols, so exposure during pregnancy is low (PubChem/CosIng/ECHA dossiers).
- Is c12-16 alcohols safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory reviews (CIR, no harmonised ECHA classification). Dermal absorption is low but measurable, so potential maternal exposure via topical use is low; no data indicating transfer into breastmilk or harm to nursing infants.
- Is c12-16 alcohols safe for baby skin?
- Regulatory reviews (CIR) and lack of harmonised reproductive/ developmental flags indicate no intrinsic reproductive hazard. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area/weight ratio, exposure is higher than adults (increase exposure score by +1), giving low‑moderate exposure for topical use despite low intrinsic absorption of long‑chain fatty alcohols.
