Frequently asked questions
- Is calcium hydroxide safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no authoritative cosmetic-safety body (CIR/SCCS) listing calcium hydroxide as a reproductive toxicant. Primary hazards are local corrosivity/alkalinity rather than systemic reproductive toxicity; systemic absorption from topical use is negligible. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (CLP), PubChem, CosIng.
- Is calcium hydroxide safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific systemic toxicity; main risk is local corrosive/irritant effects if applied to skin. Negligible systemic absorption expected from normal topical cosmetic uses, so breastfeeding transfer is unlikely. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (CLP), PubChem, CosIng.
- Is calcium hydroxide safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/infant reproductive hazard identified. However, calcium hydroxide is a strong alkali/corrosive (skin/eye damage hazard per ECHA CLP data) so infant skin is at higher risk of local injury; because infant barrier is immature, exposure concern for local effects and greater local penetration is higher (hence exposure score +1). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (classification for corrosivity), ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem, CosIng.
- How does VeriMom score calcium hydroxide?
