Frequently asked questions
- Is hydrolyzed cottonseed protein safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety findings identify hydrolyzed cottonseed protein as a reproductive hazard. It is a high-molecular-weight protein hydrolysate with no peer-reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or endocrine-relevant activity in the cosmetic context; topical absorption of peptides/protein hydrolysates is expected to be negligible for adults.
- Is hydrolyzed cottonseed protein safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicating transfer to breastmilk or effects on lactation. Given negligible expected dermal absorption of protein hydrolysates in adults, systemic exposure (and therefore exposure via breastmilk) is expected to be negligible.
- Is hydrolyzed cottonseed protein safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of infant-specific reproductive or endocrine hazards. However, infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 (from negligible in adults to low but measurable). There is no infant-specific data demonstrating harm.
