Frequently asked questions
- Is diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate safe during pregnancy?
- Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate (CAS 302776-68-7; trade name e.g. Uvinul A Plus) is an organic UVA filter with no harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity and no CIR/SCCS finding of reproductive hazard. SCCS opinions and manufacturer/registration data report low dermal penetration; no reproductive or developmental effects in available regulatory studies were identified, so hazard and mechanism are scored 0. Because it is a small lipophilic UV filter with measurable but low skin absorption in dermal studies, exposure for topical use in pregnancy is scored as 1 (low but measurable). Sources: SCCS assessments, ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem/GHS entries.
- Is diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, no harmonised classification. Low dermal absorption suggests low maternal systemic exposure; therefore lactational exposure is expected to be low but measurable (e=1). No data found demonstrating transfer into breast milk or adverse effects in nursing infants.
- Is diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazard data were identified. Hazard and mechanism remain 0 per absence of reproductive/endocrine findings. Because infant skin (0–3 y) has higher permeability and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 from adult e=1 to e=2 (moderate) as per instructions. Regulatory reviews note low percutaneous absorption in adults but do not show negligible absorption; therefore exposure for baby skin is non-negligible.
