Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated castor oil/sebacic acid copolymer safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or SCCS/CIR safety flags were identified for this INCI copolymer. It is a high‑molecular‑weight polymeric ingredient (CosIng/PubChem descriptions) with no published reproductive toxicity or endocrine activity in authoritative reviews; therefore default hazard and mechanism scores are 0 and exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible. Sources consulted: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA (no harmonised classification), CIR absence.
- Is hydrogenated castor oil/sebacic acid copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: no evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity, no harmonised classification, and low expected systemic absorption from topical use based on polymeric nature (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA records).
- Is hydrogenated castor oil/sebacic acid copolymer safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of reproductive/endocrine findings. Exposure score increased to 1 for infants because baby skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; although the ingredient is high MW and expected to have low absorption, baby exposure is considered low-but-measurable compared with adults. Sources: CosIng (ingredient identity), PubChem (physicochemical/polymeric description), ECHA (no harmonised classification).
