Frequently asked questions
- Is lac safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive flags were found for LAC (CAS 8049-98-7). Cosmetic databases list this INCI as whole cow's milk used as a skin-conditioning ingredient; no reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity data for topical milk as a cosmetic ingredient were identified. (See Cosmetics/INCI entries and UNII/PubChem substance records.)
- Is lac safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence that topical cow's‑milk (LAC) ingredients cause reproductive/breastfeeding hazards or transfer into milk when used topically; no harmonised hazard statements (H360/H361) or regulatory reproductive warnings were identified. Breastfeeding-specific data lacking but no signals of systemic reproductive toxicity.
- Is lac safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no data suggesting reproductive/teratogenic hazard to infants from topical LAC. Exposure: adult topical absorption is negligible for intact milk proteins/polymers (adult e=0), but per instruction a +1 exposure score is applied for baby skin because infants have higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier and LAC is not completely non‑absorbable (so baby e=1). Topical milk is commonly used on infant skin; main concern would be allergenicity if proteins contact broken skin, not reproductive toxicity.
