Frequently asked questions
- Is dicaprylyl carbonate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for dicaprylyl carbonate (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR reproductive safety signal, and available toxicology summaries (PubChem, ECHA dossiers) report low systemic toxicity after dermal exposure. Therefore no evidence of reproductive hazard or mechanistic concern and exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is considered negligible.
- Is dicaprylyl carbonate safe while breastfeeding?
- As for pregnancy: no harmonised classification or published evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; dermal cosmetic use is not expected to produce significant systemic exposure (see ECHA registration summaries, PubChem).
- Is dicaprylyl carbonate safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating developmental or reproductive hazard in infants; mechanistic data lacking. However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (ingredient is a lipophilic, skin‑penetrating emollient per CosIng/ECHA summaries), giving low but measurable exposure for 0–3 yr use.
