Frequently asked questions
- Is lactobionic acid safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification exists for lactobionic acid (ECHA Annex VI). No peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for topical cosmetic use was identified (PubMed/CosIng). The ingredient is a large, highly hydrophilic sugar acid with no known reproductive mechanism; topical absorption is expected to be low but measurable for water‑soluble small acids, so exposure assigned as low.
- Is lactobionic acid safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating lactobionic acid causes reproductive or lactation toxicity and no harmonised classification (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem/CosIng). Mechanistic or animal evidence for transfer into milk was not found; topical systemic exposure is expected to be low but measurable, so breastfeeding exposure scored low.
- Is lactobionic acid safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified (PubMed/CosIng/ECHA). Because baby skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, the exposure score is increased by +1 above adult topical use (adult e=1 → infant e=2), but no mechanism or hazard evidence was found.
