Frequently asked questions

Is glyceryl tribehenate/isostearate/eicosandioate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications on ECHA Annex VI, no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags for glyceride-type esters, and no peer-reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity for this ingredient class in PubMed. Cosmetic databases (CosIng) list it as an emollient with no repro warnings. Therefore default 'no evidence of reproductive hazard' applies.
Is glyceryl tribehenate/isostearate/eicosandioate safe while breastfeeding?
No harmonised classifications or published data indicating lactation/transfer or toxicity; glyceride/fatty-acid ester cosmetic ingredients are generally regarded as low systemic hazard and CIR/SCCS precedent for similar esters indicates safe topical use.
Is glyceryl tribehenate/isostearate/eicosandioate safe for baby skin?
No evidence for reproductive or mechanistic concerns in infants. As a high‑MW, lipophilic glyceride ester, systemic absorption in adults is negligible (adult e=0). Per guidance, because infant skin barrier is immature and the ingredient is not absolutely non-absorbable, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr, yielding e=1. No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
