Frequently asked questions

Is ethylene/methacrylate copolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) nor SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags were identified for ethylene/methacrylate copolymer. Cosmetic references (CosIng/PubChem) list it as a high-molecular-weight polymer/film former with low systemic bioavailability, and no peer-reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data indicate hazard; therefore default no-evidence scoring is applied.
Is ethylene/methacrylate copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or classification (no ECHA harmonised H360/H361, no CIR/SCCS warnings). As a high-MW polymer used topically and described as a film former, systemic absorption is expected to be negligible.
Is ethylene/methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
There are no infant-specific toxicity data or regulatory flags. Ethylene/methacrylate copolymers are high-molecular-weight, low-absorption polymers used as film formers (CosIng/PubChem), so exposure/absorption even on immature skin is expected to be negligible; therefore no increase in hazard or mechanism scores and exposure remains 0.
How does VeriMom score ethylene/methacrylate copolymer?
VeriMom scores ethylene/methacrylate copolymer 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.
