Frequently asked questions

Is caprylyl/capryl glucoside safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity on ECHA Annex VI, and no credible peer‑reviewed or regulatory evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity. Regulatory and ingredient databases list it as a mild non‑ionic surfactant with low systemic toxicity (ECHA, PubChem, CosIng).
Is caprylyl/capryl glucoside safe while breastfeeding?
No data showing maternal reproductive/breastfeeding transfer or lactation toxicity; no harmonised or SCCS/CIR flags. Given low dermal/systemic toxicity reported in databases, risk is not indicated for breastfeeding mothers with normal cosmetic use.
Is caprylyl/capryl glucoside safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazard data. Dermal absorption from cosmetics is expected to be low, but immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight in infants warrants a conservative increase in exposure rating (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No evidence to increase hazard or mechanism scores.
