Frequently asked questions

Is gamma-undecalactone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) was found for γ‑undecalactone and authoritative cosmetic safety opinions (CIR/SCCS) specific to reproductive/developmental toxicity were not located; ECHA lists the substance and registrants but does not give a harmonised reproductive hazard, and PubChem/chemical summaries do not report reproductive or teratogenic human data. Sources: ECHA substance/registration pages and PubChem. (See sources.)
Is gamma-undecalactone safe while breastfeeding?
No data were found indicating lactation-specific toxicity or transfer via milk for γ‑undecalactone; no regulatory reproductive/lactation classification (ECHA) or CIR/SCCS opinion flags breastfeeding concerns. Available safety summaries treat it as a fragrance/flavouring with standard hazard information but not as a known reproductive hazard.
Is gamma-undecalactone safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive/dermal toxicity data were found. Mechanistic or hazard evidence is absent (h=0,m=0) but dermal absorption is measurable for a small, lipophilic lactone used as a fragrance/flavouring (physicochemical data on PubChem/ECHA), so exposure for infants is increased relative to adults — exposure score raised to 1 for baby skin per your instructions.
