Frequently asked questions
- Is dimethyl heptenal safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was identified for dimethyl heptenal (CAS 106-72-9); PubChem and ECHA registration summary entries do not list H360/H361 flags or human teratogenicity. No peer-reviewed reproductive/toxicology studies indicating developmental effects were found in the sources searched.
- Is dimethyl heptenal safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from authoritative safety assessments (CIR/SCCS) or harmonised CLP entries indicating risk to lactation or transfer in breast milk; no published data documenting mammary transfer or neonatal toxicity were identified in the reviewed resources.
- Is dimethyl heptenal safe for baby skin?
- No intrinsic reproductive hazard identified (see pregnancy). Exposure concern for infants is increased relative to adults because the ingredient is a small fragrance-like organic molecule with potential for dermal absorption; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin despite lack of infant-specific absorption data (sources searched showed no specific percutaneous absorption studies).
