Frequently asked questions
- Is cellulose gum safe during pregnancy?
- Cellulose gum (INCI: Cellulose Gum; CAS 9004-32-4) is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide used as a thickener/binder. Authoritative sources (no harmonised CLP classification in ECHA Annex VI, CIR safety evaluations) report no reproductive or developmental toxicity and it is not identified as an endocrine disruptor; therefore no reproductive hazard is indicated and topical systemic exposure is negligible.
- Is cellulose gum safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation/transfer concern in regulatory assessments or the peer‑reviewed literature. The large polymeric nature predicts negligible dermal/systemic absorption and no mechanism for transfer into breast milk has been identified.
- Is cellulose gum safe for baby skin?
- No specific infant toxicity reported. Cellulose gum is a large, poorly absorbed polymeric ingredient; for topical cosmetic use absorption is negligible even on infant skin, so exposure is not expected to be significant and no infant‑specific hazard or mechanism is described.
- How does VeriMom score cellulose gum?
- VeriMom scores cellulose gum at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
