Frequently asked questions
- Is paraffinum liquidum safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification is listed for paraffinum liquidum and major cosmetic safety bodies (CIR) have concluded mineral oil/white oils, when highly refined for cosmetic use, are safe as used; peer‑reviewed data do not show reproductive or teratogenic effects for refined cosmetic grades. (Sources: CIR, SCCS/CosIng summaries, PubChem)
- Is paraffinum liquidum safe while breastfeeding?
- There is no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for cosmetic‑grade mineral oil and no demonstrated mechanism for transfer to milk at levels of concern from topical use; systemic absorption from topical application of refined mineral oil is negligible. (Sources: CIR, PubChem, CosIng)
- Is paraffinum liquidum safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain not identified for refined cosmetic mineral oil. Exposure is assigned as low but measurable (e=1) for infants because immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight increase percutaneous uptake potential compared with adults, although cosmetic white oils are generally considered to have negligible systemic absorption. (Sources: CIR, CosIng, general percutaneous absorption principles)
