Frequently asked questions

Is hydrogen dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found for hydrogenated/ hydrogen dimethicone and CIR reviews of dimethicone-type silicones consider them safe as used in cosmetics; no peer-reviewed reproductive or teratogenic human data located. ECHA registration/self-notifications do not indicate H360/H361 flags.
Is hydrogen dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation toxicity, no harmonised classification, and silicones such as dimethicone/hydrogenated dimethicone are generally considered inert with negligible systemic toxicity in cosmetic use; thus no breastfeeding-specific hazard identified.
Is hydrogen dimethicone safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to hydrogen dimethicone. Exposure: although topical silicones have low dermal absorption in adults (adult e=0), infant skin has higher permeability so exposure score increased by +1 to e=1 for 0–3 yr (measurable but low absorption). No infant-specific adverse data found.
