Frequently asked questions
- Is isododecane safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR finding of reproductive hazard; the CIR group assessment of isoparaffins (includes isododecane) concluded safe as used and reviewed animal/toxicity data without reproductive flags, and ECHA registration records list no reproductive classification. Therefore default ‘‘no evidence of reproductive hazard’’ applies. (CIR; ECHA registration).
- Is isododecane safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or authoritative safety assessments (CIR/ECHA) indicating reproductive/transfer-to-milk hazards or that topical use would lead to clinically relevant levels in breast milk; no harmonised CLP H361/H360 classifications. Topical cosmetic use is therefore assessed as negligible exposure for breastfeeding. (CIR; ECHA).
- Is isododecane safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive/developmental toxicity specific to infants; mechanism not reported. Isododecane is an isoparaffin evaluated by CIR as safe for cosmetic use and lacks harmonised reproductive classification, so hazard and mechanism scores remain 0. Exposure for baby skin is increased by +1 (to 1) because isododecane is a small, volatile/skin‑penetrant hydrocarbon used topically (adult absorption considered negligible in CIR) and infant skin has an immature barrier/higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, so low but measurable exposure is appropriate for 0–3 yr. (CIR; ECHA).
