Frequently asked questions

Is hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns found for hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer; available databases (PubChem, CosIng, ECHA C&L) list it as a high‑molecular‑weight inert polymer/film former with no reproductive data indicating hazard, so default no evidence of reproductive hazard. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI/C&L records show no harmonised classification; PubChem/CosIng list substance as polymeric/film former.)
Is hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating transfer into breastmilk or lactation toxicity; as a hydrogenated styrene/isoprene high‑MW polymer it is expected to be non‑systemically available after topical use and no regulatory flags (harmonised CLP, SCCS, CIR) were identified. (Sources: ECHA C&L, PubChem, CosIng.)
Is hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer safe for baby skin?
Polymers of this type are high molecular weight, lipophilic film formers with negligible dermal penetration; therefore exposure from topical use is considered negligible even for infant skin and there are no infant‑specific toxicity reports or regulatory warnings. No increase in hazard or mechanism scores is warranted. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA information indicating polymeric inert status.)
