Frequently asked questions
- Is hexyl cinnamal safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI and no CIR or SCCS determination of reproductive hazard for hexyl cinnamal; therefore no evidence for reproductive hazard (h=0). Topical cosmetic use can give low but measurable systemic exposure for small fragrance molecules, so exposure scored as low (e=1). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised H360/H361 entry), CIR review practices, PubChem/CosIng listings showing cosmetic use.
- Is hexyl cinnamal safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity or lactation-specific effects in authoritative sources; no harmonised reproductive classification. Systemic exposure from topical use is expected to be low but measurable, so breastfeeding exposure scored as low (e=1). Sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR principles, PubChem/CosIng.
- Is hexyl cinnamal safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard data and no harmonised reproductive classification (h=0). Mechanistic concerns not identified (m=0). Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, exposure is increased by +1 over adult (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Note: hexyl cinnamal is a known fragrance allergen/sensitiser which increases concern for skin reactions in infants but does not in itself indicate reproductive hazard. Sources: CosIng, ECHA classifications (no harmonised repro), EWG and PubChem data on use and sensitisation.
