Frequently asked questions

Is dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR reproductive warnings for silicone elastomers. These crosspolymers are high‑molecular‑weight, inert silicones with no evidence of systemic reproductive toxicity in available regulatory summaries (CosIng, PubChem) and are generally classed as safe-for-use in cosmetics.
Is dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating transfer to breastmilk or reproductive hazard; polymeric silicones are poorly absorbed and not associated with lactation/breastmilk toxicity in regulatory sources (no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS flags).
Is dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or endocrine effects in available regulatory/peer sources. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible for high‑MW silicone elastomers; however, per guidance increase exposure score by +1 for infants (immature barrier), resulting in e=1 for 0–3 yr despite low intrinsic absorption.
