Frequently asked questions
- Is glyceryl myristate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification exists for glyceryl myristate (ECHA Annex VI has no H360/H361 entry), and safety reviews of cosmetic glycerol esters by CIR/SCCS generally consider such fatty acid glycerides safe as used; there are no peer‑reviewed data indicating reproductive or teratogenic effects (PubChem/CosIng listings show use as an emollient/ester with low systemic toxicity).
- Is glyceryl myristate safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazards in regulatory reviews (CIR/SCCS) or hazard listings (ECHA PubChem); glyceryl esters are large, lipophilic esters with low dermal absorption predicted for typical cosmetic use, so systemic exposure during breastfeeding is expected to be negligible.
- Is glyceryl myristate safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating increased hazard to infants; mechanism and hazard not identified in regulatory reviews. Because glyceryl myristate is a skin‑applied lipid ester with low but not zero dermal absorption, infant exposure potential is higher due to immature skin/barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin use (adult exposure considered negligible).
