Frequently asked questions
- Is maltose safe during pregnancy?
- Maltose is a common disaccharide sugar with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no reported reproductive or teratogenic effects in regulatory dossiers or peer‑reviewed literature relevant to topical cosmetic use (PubChem, ECHA registration/COSIng). No CIR or SCCS safety concern for reproductive toxicity was identified.
- Is maltose safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard from maltose; it is a dietary sugar readily metabolized and there are no regulatory flags for lactation exposure. Topical cosmetic use would give negligible systemic exposure (PubChem, ECHA/COSIng).
- Is maltose safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating developmental or reproductive hazard in infants. Maltose is hydrophilic and has negligible dermal penetration in adults (COSIng, PubChem); because infant skin is more permeable, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (resulting in low but measurable exposure) despite no hazard or mechanism identified.
- How does VeriMom score maltose?
- VeriMom scores maltose 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.
