Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrogenated polybutene safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification, no CIR or SCCS reproductive safety flags, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for hydrogenated polybutene. Regulatory sources (ECHA/CosIng/PubChem) describe it as an inert hydrocarbon emollient with no specific reproductive hazards identified.
- Is hydrogenated polybutene safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating effects on lactation or transfer to breast milk; no harmonised classification or safety assessment raising concern. As a high‑molecular‑weight, lipophilic hydrocarbon the theoretical systemic exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is low.
- Is hydrogenated polybutene safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity. Dermal absorption from cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and less mature barrier the exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant‑specific studies were identified.
