Frequently asked questions

Is diisopropyl sebacate safe during pregnancy?
Authoritative safety reviews (CIR panel materials) discuss diisopropyl sebacate among sebacate/ester cosmetic ingredients and report no reproductive/developmental hazard signal; ECHA registration dossier exists but there is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification. No peer‑reviewed human or animal studies were found showing reproductive/developmental toxicity for diisopropyl sebacate specifically. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/116_tent_sebaci_rev.pdf))
Is diisopropyl sebacate safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating lactation/breastfeeding risk were identified in CIR materials, ECHA dossier or PubChem; no harmonised classification or SCCS/CIR conclusion indicating transfer to milk or specific breast‑feeding hazards. Therefore default scoring is 0 in absence of evidence. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/116_tent_sebaci_rev.pdf))
Is diisopropyl sebacate safe for baby skin?
No reproductive/teratogenic evidence found (h=0). Dermal irritation/sensitisation: CIR materials note a small number of case reports of allergic reactions to sebacate esters, including two case reports for diisopropyl sebacate, so sensitisation risk exists but is rare. Given measurable dermal absorption potential for small esters and immature infant barrier, exposure score increased to 1 for baby skin (per your instruction). No infant‑specific toxicity data identified. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/116_tent_sebaci_rev.pdf))
