Frequently asked questions
- Is kaolin safe during pregnancy?
- Kaolin (CAS 1332-58-7) is an inert, insoluble clay with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no credible animal or human reproductive toxicity data in authoritative assessments (CIR, ECHA dossiers). Topical cosmetic use shows negligible systemic absorption, and CIR/SCCS-type evaluations treat kaolin as safe as used in cosmetics.
- Is kaolin safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or transfer via milk for kaolin; lack of systemic absorption from topical use makes exposure of breastfed infants negligible (per ECHA registration summaries and cosmetic safety reviews).
- Is kaolin safe for baby skin?
- Kaolin is a particulate, poorly soluble mineral with minimal dermal penetration; for baby skin (0–3 yr) there is no infant-specific safety signal in available regulatory reviews. Because kaolin is effectively non-absorbed, the exposure score is not increased for infants.
- How does VeriMom score kaolin?
- VeriMom scores kaolin at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
