Frequently asked questions

Is c30-45 alkyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive warnings were identified for C30-45 alkyl dimethicone; CIR/SCCS class silicone polymers like dimethicone as safe as used in cosmetics, and ECHA registration/self-notifications do not indicate H360/H361 reproductive classifications. Physicochemical properties (very high molecular weight, high lipophilicity, polymeric silicone) predict negligible systemic absorption from topical use. Sources: CIR, ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem/CosIng.
Is c30-45 alkyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No data or regulatory flags indicating reproductive or lactation hazard; with negligible dermal absorption expected for high‑MW alkyl dimethicones, systemic transfer into breastmilk is unlikely. Regulatory and safety assessments (CIR; absence of harmonised classification at ECHA) support no breastfeeding-specific concern.
Is c30-45 alkyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants; mechanism of reproductive toxicity is not indicated. Because infant skin barrier is immature and the ingredient is not absolutely non‑absorbable, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult exposure judged negligible but infant absorption can be higher). Sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration info.
