Frequently asked questions

Is dimethicone crosspolymer-3 safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for dimethicone crosspolymers, and CIR/SCCS-level assessments for silicones indicate no reproductive hazard for topical cosmetic use; substance is a high‑molecular‑weight crosslinked silicone with negligible systemic absorption (CIR; SCCS; ECHA no harmonised classification).
Is dimethicone crosspolymer-3 safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity and expected negligible dermal/systemic absorption of crosslinked dimethicone materials, therefore minimal likelihood of transfer into breastmilk (CIR; PubChem; ECHA).
Is dimethicone crosspolymer-3 safe for baby skin?
Crosspolymer form is a large, crosslinked silicone elastomer with very low percutaneous absorption; no infant‑specific hazard data found and exposure via topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible, so infant risk is low (CosIng; CIR; PubChem).
