Frequently asked questions
- Is hexanediol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for 1,6-hexanediol (CAS 629-11-8) and no SCCS/CIR reproductive hazard findings were located. ECHA substance/registration pages list the chemical but do not show harmonised reproductive hazard statements; peer‑reviewed searches did not identify reproductive or teratogenic effects in mammals for this isomer. (ECHA substance page; PubChem; selected PubMed searches).
- Is hexanediol safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence found of lactation-specific reproductive toxicity or classification. There are no SCCS or CIR restrictions found for 1,6-hexanediol and peer‑reviewed literature does not report demonstrated effects on lactation or mammalian offspring at relevant exposures. Absorption from typical topical cosmetic use is expected to be low. (ECHA; PubChem; PubMed).
- Is hexanediol safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazard or mechanism data were identified. Mechanistic and reproductive endpoints are not reported. Per exposure rules, skin of infants has higher permeability; although adult topical absorption appears low, measurable absorption potential supports a conservative exposure score of 1 for baby skin absent infant-specific data. (ECHA registration/brief profile; PubChem; general dermal absorption considerations).
