Frequently asked questions

Is glyceryl stearate citrate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification is listed for glyceryl stearate citrate (no ECHA Annex VI H360/H361), and there are no CIR or SCCS safety conclusions identifying reproductive hazards. Public toxicology summaries (e.g., PubChem/COSING listings) do not report reproductive or developmental toxicity for this ingredient; therefore default score 0. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem, CosIng, CIR (no adverse repro findings).
Is glyceryl stearate citrate safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazards, no harmonised CLP classification, and no regulatory or peer-reviewed evidence of mechanisms that would indicate transfer into breast milk or lactation-related toxicity. Exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem, CosIng, CIR.
Is glyceryl stearate citrate safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 due to lack of reproductive/toxic mechanism data. Exposure score increased to 1 for infants (0–3 yr) because although adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for this high-molecular-weight, low-volatility ester/emulsifier, infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, giving low but measurable potential for greater per-body-weight exposure. No infant-specific toxicity data were identified. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration summaries (no reproductive flags).
