Frequently asked questions
- Is myristyl lactate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found (ECHA Annex VI). No SCCS or CIR safety assessment or peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data locating developmental or fertility hazards for myristyl lactate; default assessment is no evidence of reproductive hazard (sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, SCCS/CIR, PubMed, PubChem, CosIng).
- Is myristyl lactate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation transfer hazards; no harmonised classifications or SCCS/CIR opinions found. Expected low systemic exposure from typical topical cosmetic use (sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, PubMed).
- Is myristyl lactate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicity data or signals for reproductive/endocrine effects. Adult hazard/mechanism default to 0. Dermal absorption expected to be low, but immature skin and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight mean exposure for 0–3 yr is higher than adults, so exposure score increased by +1 (sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, PubMed).
