Frequently asked questions

Is milk lipids safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety warning was found for 'milk lipids' and peer‑reviewed literature treats milk lipids as complex natural triglyceride/phospholipid mixtures with nutritive/bioactive roles rather than reproductive toxicants; topical cosmetic use is expected to have negligible systemic absorption for large lipid fractions. (See composition/reviews and EWG entry.)
Is milk lipids safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence that topically applied milk lipid fractions cause reproductive or lactation hazards or are flagged by regulatory bodies; systemic transfer from normal cosmetic topical use is expected to be negligible, and no SCCS/CIR advisory on breastfeeding transfer was identified in the searches.
Is milk lipids safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/specific toxicity evidence found. Exposure: increase of +1 compared with adults because infant skin barrier is immature and milk lipid components (long‑chain triglycerides, phospholipids, ceramides) are not completely non‑absorbable; however overall absorption from topical occlusive use remains low. Peer‑reviewed lipid composition and MFGM literature describe components but do not report dermal developmental toxicity.
