Frequently asked questions

Is diisostearyl malate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards. PubChem and CosIng list physicochemical/use information but do not report reproductive or teratogenic findings. No peer‑reviewed studies were identified that demonstrate reproductive toxicity for diisostearyl malate; therefore default 'no evidence' scoring applies.
Is diisostearyl malate safe while breastfeeding?
No data found showing transfer to breast milk or reproductive/developmental toxicity. Absence of harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS concerns supports a 'no evidence' conclusion for breastfeeding exposure at cosmetic use levels.
Is diisostearyl malate safe for baby skin?
No hazard or mechanism evidence specific to infants was identified (h=0, m=0). Because diisostearyl malate is a lipophilic cosmetic ester with no indication of being completely non‑absorbable, infant topical exposure warrants a higher exposure score than adults (e increased by +1). No infant‑specific toxicokinetic or dermal absorption studies were found.
