Frequently asked questions

Is glyceryl tripalmate/palm kernelate/olivate/macadamiate/rapeseedate safe during pregnancy?
This ingredient is a mixture of glycerol tri‑esters (natural fatty acid esters) from palm/palm kernel/olive/maca/rapeseed sources. There is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification, no SCCS/CIR safety finding indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for glyceryl fatty acid esters used in cosmetics (see CIR, SCCS, ECHA, PubMed/CosIng). Dermal absorption of high‑molecular‑weight triglyceride esters is negligible in typical topical use, so systemic exposure in pregnancy is expected to be negligible.
Is glyceryl tripalmate/palm kernelate/olivate/macadamiate/rapeseedate safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation hazards for glycerol tri‑esters; lacking systemic absorption after topical application, transfer into breastmilk is not expected. No authoritative sources (harmonised CLP, SCCS, CIR) flag this class for lactation concerns.
Is glyceryl tripalmate/palm kernelate/olivate/macadamiate/rapeseedate safe for baby skin?
Ingredient is not known to be a reproductive or developmental toxicant. Dermal absorption of large triglyceride molecules is negligible in adults, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area/weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible to low measurable). No infant‑specific toxicity data indicate hazard.
