Frequently asked questions
- Is myristyl glycol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment for myristyl glycol (CAS 21129-09-9) was identified in the referenced regulatory sources. No peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data specific to this CAS were found in the available databases (PubMed/PubChem summaries), so by default there is no evidence of reproductive hazard.
- Is myristyl glycol safe while breastfeeding?
- There are no CIR or SCCS opinions, no harmonised CLP flags, and no specific published data indicating lactation transfer or reproductive organ toxicity for this ingredient in the searched sources; therefore no breastfeeding‑specific hazard or mechanism was identified.
- Is myristyl glycol safe for baby skin?
- No studies document developmental or infant skin effects. Because infant skin has higher absorption potential than adult skin in general, exposure score for baby skin is increased by +1 from the adult default (see exposure rationale). No evidence of a specific absorption kinetic study for myristyl glycol was found in CosIng, PubChem or PubMed.
