Frequently asked questions
- Is ethoxydiglycol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR finding of reproductive hazard. Regulatory and toxicology sources (PubChem summaries, ECHA dossiers) do not identify teratogenicity or developmental/reproductive effects; CIR-type cosmetic safety assessments treat low-molecular-weight glycols as acceptable in topical use. Dermal absorption is measurable for low-molecular-weight glycol ethers, so exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is low but present.
- Is ethoxydiglycol safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory summaries (no harmonised H360/H361). Dermal absorption is measurable, so low maternal systemic exposure is plausible and therefore low potential for transfer into breastmilk, but no specific human lactation data were identified.
- Is ethoxydiglycol safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified. Because ethoxydiglycol (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, CAS 111-90-0) is a small, water-miscible glycol ether with measurable percutaneous absorption in adults, exposure potential for infants is greater due to higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier — therefore exposure score increased by +1 compared with adults.
- How does VeriMom score ethoxydiglycol?
- VeriMom scores ethoxydiglycol at 93/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
