Frequently asked questions

Is octanediol safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns located. PubMed contains no clear reproductive or developmental studies indicating teratogenicity for octanediol (CAS 629-41-4); ECHA/PubChem entries list general toxicity data but no reproductive hazard. Therefore default 'no evidence of reproductive hazard' score is used.
Is octanediol safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating transfer into breastmilk or lactation-specific effects; no harmonised classification or regulatory warnings. No peer-reviewed evidence of reproductive/lactation toxicity for this substance.
Is octanediol safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity (h=0, m=0). Exposure scored higher for infants (e=1) because infant skin has higher absorption potential; although adult topical absorption appears low/no bioavailability data indicating high systemic uptake, immature barrier warrants a small increase in exposure score.
