Frequently asked questions
- Is glucose safe during pregnancy?
- Glucose (CAS 50-99-7) has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and there is no credible evidence of reproductive toxicity or endocrine activity in regulatory or peer-reviewed sources. Cosmetic safety reviews (no CIR/SCCS flags) and toxicology databases (e.g., PubChem) do not report developmental or teratogenic effects, so topical cosmetic use is considered of negligible systemic reproductive hazard.
- Is glucose safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating effects on lactation or transfer via breast milk for topically applied glucose; absence of harmonised classification or regulatory safety concerns supports no reproductive/lactation hazard from cosmetic use. Mechanistic data for transfer into milk are lacking and not indicated by available toxicity databases.
- Is glucose safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental toxicity in infants; hazard and mechanism scores remain 0. Dermal absorption for intact adult skin is negligible for topical glucose, but infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, so exposure is increased modestly (elevated exposure score =1). There is no infant-specific hazard data to raise h or m.
- How does VeriMom score glucose?
- VeriMom scores glucose 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.
