Frequently asked questions
- Is methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361 harmonised classification) and the SCCS has issued a positive safety opinion for Methylene bis‑benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT/Tinosorb M) for cosmetic use (nano form) up to defined conditions/limits; no peer‑reviewed studies demonstrating reproductive or developmental toxicity in humans or animals were identified in the searched literature. Regulatory decisions (EU Cosmetics Annex VI inclusion with use limits) and SCCS assessment indicate no reproductive hazard under the assessed uses. Sources: SCCS opinion and EU Annex VI listing.
- Is methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol safe while breastfeeding?
- No data were found showing reproductive or lactation‑related toxicity or transfer in milk. Regulatory safety assessments (SCCS) and the Annex VI listing evaluate dermal cosmetic use and do not identify lactation/breastfeeding as a use‑restriction or hazard; no studies demonstrating placental or milk transfer were located in the searched sources.
- Is methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive hazard or mechanistic data located. Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier and the ingredient has very low water solubility and high log Pow (regulatory dossiers note very low solubility and high lipophilicity), so dermal absorption is possible but SCCS/EU use limits imply systemic exposure is low for normal cosmetic use. No infant‑specific toxicokinetic or developmental studies were found to justify higher hazard or mechanism scores.
