Frequently asked questions

Is disiloxane safe during pregnancy?
Hexamethyldisiloxane (disiloxane, CAS 107-46-0) is a low-toxicity, volatile silicone with no harmonised reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI, no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer-reviewed human/animal reproductive data showing developmental effects. Its predominant fate after topical application is rapid evaporation, giving negligible dermal systemic exposure in adults (sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR, PubChem).
Is disiloxane safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mechanism; no harmonised classification or documented endocrine activity. Given low adult systemic absorption after topical use (rapid evaporation), exposure to breast milk is expected to be negligible (sources: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CIR).
Is disiloxane safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data and no alerts (h=0, m=0). Exposure: although adult topical use yields negligible absorption, infants have a more permeable barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, so exposure is increased by one category (e=1). Overall risk remains low absent evidence of systemic toxicity (sources: CIR, PubChem, CosIng, EWG).
