Frequently asked questions
- Is glycogen safe during pregnancy?
- Glycogen (CAS 9005-79-2) is a large endogenous branched glucose polymer; there is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification, no SCCS/CIR safety assessment specific to glycogen found, and no peer‑reviewed evidence that topically applied glycogen causes reproductive toxicity. ECHA lists the substance (no harmonised classification). PubMed literature on glycogen relates to its physiological role (e.g., placental/ tissue glycogen) rather than topical toxicity. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.029.700?utm_source=openai))
- Is glycogen safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence that topical glycogen poses hazards to lactation or nursing infants. Glycogen is an endogenous, high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide; there are no reports of systemic reproductive or lactational toxicity from topical use in the sources searched (no SCCS/CIR opinion, no harmonised CLP). ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.029.700?utm_source=openai))
- Is glycogen safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of intrinsic developmental/teratogenic hazard or endocrine activity. Exposure: because glycogen is a very large, highly hydrophilic polymer it is expected to have negligible dermal penetration in adults; for infants (0–3 yr) immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight justify a conservative small increase in exposure score (+1) though still low absolute absorption. No infant‑specific adverse data were found. ([pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Glycogen))
