Frequently asked questions
- Is laureth-23 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or SCCS/CIR safety warnings for laureth‑23; CIR and regulatory listings treat ethoxylated alcohols as acceptable in cosmetics when formulated appropriately. No peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for laureth‑23 was identified in the regulatory sources reviewed (ECHA/CosIng/PubChem).
- Is laureth-23 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicating lactation or breastmilk transfer for laureth‑23; no harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS contraindication for use by nursing mothers.
- Is laureth-23 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard for laureth‑23. Dermal absorption of high‑molecular‑weight ethoxylates like PEG‑23 lauryl ether is expected to be low for adults, but immature infant skin has higher relative absorption — therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin despite no hazard or known mechanism.
