Frequently asked questions

Is ethylene/va copolymer safe during pregnancy?
Ethylene/VA copolymer is a high‑molecular‑weight film‑forming polymer (vinyl acetate/ethylene type) with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification listed in ECHA Annex VI and no published CIR or SCCS reproductive safety concerns; available regulatory/chemical database entries (PubChem, CosIng) contain no reproductive hazard data, consistent with low systemic toxicity of inert polymers.
Is ethylene/va copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised classification or peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity; the polymer is expected to be essentially non‑systemically available after topical application.
Is ethylene/va copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence of reproductive/toxic mechanism in infants). Exposure is increased to 1 for baby skin because although the polymer is high‑molecular‑weight and unlikely to penetrate intact adult skin, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio so a small measurable increase in exposure potential is plausible.
How does VeriMom score ethylene/va copolymer?
VeriMom scores ethylene/va 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.
