Frequently asked questions
- Is isosorbide safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction found (ECHA Annex VI; CIR absent). PubChem and ECHA registration dossiers report no reproductive or developmental hazard data indicating teratogenicity; available toxicology indicates low systemic toxicity, so default hazard = 0. Dermal absorption is plausible but limited for this small, hydrophilic diol, so exposure from topical use is low but measurable (PubChem; ECHA dossiers).
- Is isosorbide safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental effects or endocrine activity in authoritative sources (ECHA dossiers; PubChem). Given low systemic exposure expected from topical use, transfer into breast milk is unlikely but measurable exposure cannot be excluded, therefore exposure score = 1.
- Is isosorbide safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating developmental/infant-specific toxicity (PubMed/ECHA). Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, increase exposure by +1 from adult (adult e=1 → infant e=2) though no specific infant absorption or toxicity data were found.
- How does VeriMom score isosorbide?
