Frequently asked questions
- Is cholesteryl nonanoate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive contraindication identified for cholesteryl nonanoate; cosmetic reviews (CosIng/PubChem entries) list it as a cosmetic/functional ingredient with no reproductive flags. No peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data indicating hazard were found in standard regulatory sources, so default score is 0 (no evidence of reproductive hazard). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem.
- Is cholesteryl nonanoate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating lactation or breastmilk transfer or reproductive hazard. Parent cholesterol is endogenous and nonanoic acid has low systemic toxicity; no regulatory or peer‑reviewed evidence to indicate breastfeeding risk from topical cosmetic use. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, absence of ECHA harmonised classification.
- Is cholesteryl nonanoate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants. Dermal absorption for large, lipophilic cholesterol esters is expected to be low (hence h=0, m=0). However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin (e=1). Sources: CosIng, PubChem; no ECHA harmonised flags.
