Frequently asked questions
- Is ceramide 1 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) for reproductive toxicity for ceramides; no CIR or SCCS safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard; no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for topical cosmetic ceramides. Regulatory inventories (CosIng, PubChem) list cosmetic use but do not flag reproductive hazards. Therefore default score 0. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised H360/H361 for ceramides), CosIng, PubChem, absence of CIR/SCCS warnings.
- Is ceramide 1 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating transfer into breastmilk or lactation-related toxicity. No harmonised classifications or safety assessments (CIR/SCCS) indicating concern. Dermally applied ceramides are intended to act in the stratum corneum with low systemic exposure in typical cosmetic use. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, lack of ECHA harmonised classification; no CIR/SCCS warnings identified.
- Is ceramide 1 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental/reproductive toxicity in available regulatory/assessment sources, so h=0 and m=0. Exposure: increased by +1 for infant (0–3 yr) relative to adults because ceramides are applied topically and infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight; measurable absorption is plausible though systemic bioavailability is expected to remain low. Sources: CosIng (use in infant products), PubChem, general dermatological literature on infant skin barrier immaturity; no adverse regulatory findings.
