Frequently asked questions

Is palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS finding of reproductive hazard; peer‑reviewed and regulatory sources report no reproductive/teratogenic signals for palmitoyl tetrapeptide‑7. CIR/SCCS precedent: cosmetic peptides of this type have been assessed as safe for topical use when formulated appropriately (CIR; SCCS), and PubChem/ECHA dossiers do not list reproductive classifications.
Is palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of mammary‑toxinicity or specific data indicating risk to lactation or breastfed infants. No harmonised or SCCS/CIR concerns; systemic exposure from topical use is expected to be negligible.
Is palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental signals documented. Exposure: peptides are large molecules with low dermal penetration, so adult exposure judged negligible (e=0). Per instructions, because the ingredient is not absolutely non‑absorbable and the palmitoyl group confers some lipophilicity, infant exposure is increased by +1 (e=1) to account for immature skin and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight.
