Frequently asked questions

Is myristic/palmitic/stearic/ricinoleic/eicosanedioic glycerides safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR warnings were identified for mixed fatty acid glycerides of this type; CIR and SCCS assessments and general cosmetic literature regard fatty acid glycerides as safe as used. No peer-reviewed reproductive toxicity evidence specific to this ingredient class was found (PubMed/CIR/CosIng).
Is myristic/palmitic/stearic/ricinoleic/eicosanedioic glycerides safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as for pregnancy: no reproductive or lactation-specific hazards identified in regulatory or peer-reviewed sources for fatty acid glycerides used in cosmetics; expected topical absorption is low and no mechanism indicating transfer into breast milk at cosmetic exposures was found.
Is myristic/palmitic/stearic/ricinoleic/eicosanedioic glycerides safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to these glycerides. Exposure: topical absorption from fatty glycerides is low in adults but infant skin has higher relative absorption/immature barrier, so exposure score increased by +1 (per instructions) to reflect measurable but low absorption in 0–3 yr skin.
