Frequently asked questions

Is oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found and no CIR/SCCS safety opinions flagging reproductive hazard for polyglycerol fatty acid esters; fatty acid esters (oleic/linoleic/linolenic derivatives) lack evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects in available regulatory summaries, so default hazard = 0. Dermal absorption expected to be low but measurable for small esters/emollients, so exposure given typical cosmetic topical use = 1 (sources: CIR general approach to fatty esters, ECHA dossiers/PubChem for related polyglycerol esters, CosIng).
Is oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no regulatory/peer-reviewed reproductive or lactation-specific hazards identified. Low but measurable dermal absorption could result in minimal systemic exposure during breastfeeding, therefore exposure = 1 (sources: ECHA data/PubChem summaries, CosIng; no evidence of transfer or lactation-specific toxicity).
Is oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity reported. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and less mature barrier, increase exposure score by +1 (adult 1 → infant 2) reflecting measurable absorption potential in topical use; no data justify increasing hazard or mechanism scores (sources: general dermal absorption principles in regulatory guidance, CosIng/ECHA entries for polyglycerol fatty acid esters).
