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.
