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.
