VeriMomIs dna safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was found for deoxyribonucleic acid (CAS 9007‑49‑2); CosIng lists DNA for skin conditioning with no restrictions and peer‑reviewed literature on topical/injectable PDRN reports therapeutic wound‑healing use but not reproductive toxicity. Therefore default hazard/mechanism = 0 and exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is judged negligible. (CosIng; PubMed review; EPA inert‑ingredient assessment).

Frequently asked questions
- Is dna safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was found for deoxyribonucleic acid (CAS 9007‑49‑2); CosIng lists DNA for skin conditioning with no restrictions and peer‑reviewed literature on topical/injectable PDRN reports therapeutic wound‑healing use but not reproductive toxicity. Therefore default hazard/mechanism = 0 and exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is judged negligible. (CosIng; PubMed review; EPA inert‑ingredient assessment).
- Is dna safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation hazards in available regulatory/cosmetic databases or the peer‑reviewed literature for intact DNA (9007‑49‑2); topical cosmetic application is expected to have negligible systemic availability and therefore negligible breastmilk exposure absent injection or systemic administration. (CosIng; PubMed review).
- Is dna safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were identified. Intact DNA is a very high‑molecular‑weight polymer (used as sodium DNA/PDRN preparations); dermal absorption from intact DNA in cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin per your scoring rules — this is an exposure precaution, not evidence of increased hazard. (CosIng; PubMed reviews on topical PDRN indicate local activity but not systemic reproductive toxicity).
- How does VeriMom score dna?
- VeriMom scores dna at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
