Frequently asked questions
- Is isocetyl myristate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR findings indicating reproductive toxicity for isocetyl myristate were identified; PubChem / cosmetic database entries do not list reproductive hazards. As a topical emollient ester with low toxicity in available summaries, there is no evidence of reproductive hazard (h=0) or a known reproductive mechanism (m=0). Dermal absorption from normal cosmetic use is expected to be low but measurable (e=1), so systemic exposure cannot be assumed zero.
- Is isocetyl myristate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classifications or SCCS/CIR contraindications. Dermal exposure in nursing parent is expected to be low but measurable (e=1). No evidence found for transfer into breast milk or effects on lactation.
- Is isocetyl myristate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific developmental/reproductive hazards identified. Mechanistic data lacking. Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and an immature barrier, a one-step increase in exposure was applied (adult e=1 → baby e=2) to reflect higher potential per‑kg absorption from topical use.
