Frequently asked questions
- Is diphenyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment identifying reproductive hazard for dimethicone-type silicones. Peer-reviewed and regulatory sources indicate silicones like diphenyl dimethicone have very low dermal absorption and no reported teratogenicity in humans or animals in available literature, so default score is 0. Sources consulted include ECHA (no harmonised reproductive hazard), CIR reviews of silicones, PubChem and CosIng entries which note low toxicity.
- Is diphenyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mechanistic data indicating transfer into breast milk. Dimethicone-type silicones are high-molecular/low-absorbed materials used topically with negligible systemic availability, so breastfeeding hazard is assessed as 0.
- Is diphenyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity (h=0, m=0). Because diphenyl dimethicone is a silicone with very low but not absolutely zero dermal absorption, infant exposure potential is increased relative to adults (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight); therefore exposure score raised to 1 for 0–3 yr skin.
