Frequently asked questions
- Is dextran safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive or developmental classification is listed for dextran (CAS 9004-54-0) in ECHA Annex VI, and there is no authoritative indication of reproductive toxicity in regulatory summaries or standard safety reviews. Dextran is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide with limited dermal absorption, so topical exposure in cosmetics is not expected to pose a reproductive hazard (sources: ECHA Annex VI absence of harmonised classification; PubChem summary; CosIng listing).
- Is dextran safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicate dextran causes reproductive or lactation-related toxicity. Given its polymeric nature and low expected dermal/systemic absorption from cosmetic use, breastmilk transfer from topical cosmetic exposure is unlikely (sources: PubChem; CosIng; lack of harmonised CLP classification in ECHA Annex VI).
- Is dextran safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: because dextran is a large, poorly absorbed polymer (used topically in cosmetics), adult dermal absorption is negligible (e=0); however, per guidance, infant skin has higher permeability—so exposure scoring is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (e=1). No infant‑specific data indicate increased hazard or distinct mechanism (sources: PubChem; CosIng; general dermal absorption principles).
