Frequently asked questions

Is disteardimonium hectorite safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags, and available databases (PubChem/CosIng/ECHA dossier level listings) describe it as an inert organo‑modified clay used as a rheology modifier with no reproductive data indicating hazard.
Is disteardimonium hectorite safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity in regulatory sources; material is a particulate/organomodified clay with expected negligible dermal/systemic absorption from cosmetic use (no data showing transfer into breast milk).
Is disteardimonium hectorite safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive/ developmental toxicity or mechanisms relevant to infants. As an insoluble organo‑modified clay used as a thickener/ rheology agent, it is expected to have negligible percutaneous absorption; therefore infant exposure is not judged to increase hazard. (No infant‑specific adverse data found.)
