Frequently asked questions
- Is coco-caprylate/caprate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive/teratogenic effects and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard for coco‑caprylate/caprate; substance is an emollient ester with no reported reproductive toxicology signals in available sources (CIR, ECHA, PubChem, CosIng). Topical cosmetic exposure is expected to give negligible systemic exposure.
- Is coco-caprylate/caprate safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-related toxicity in regulatory reviews or databases (CIR, ECHA, PubChem). Given low dermal absorption of long-chain esters/emollients, systemic transfer into breastmilk is expected to be negligible at cosmetic use levels.
- Is coco-caprylate/caprate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental toxicity or infant-specific hazards in authoritative sources. Adult dermal absorption expected to be negligible; however, because infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score increased by +1 (to 1) to reflect measurable but low absorption risk for 0–3 yr topical use. No data indicate specific infant risk.
