Frequently asked questions

Is peg-15/lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags identified for PEG‑15/lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer. Available regulatory listings (CosIng, PubChem) and material safety data do not report reproductive hazards; peer‑reviewed reproductive/toxicology data are lacking, consistent with CIR/SCCS style defaults that consider such high‑MW silicone/PEG crosspolymers of low systemic reproductive concern.
Is peg-15/lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer safe while breastfeeding?
No data or regulatory classification indicating reproductive or lactation hazards; chemical is a large crosslinked PEG‑siloxane likely of negligible systemic bioavailability after topical use, so breastfeeding hazard is not indicated by authoritative sources.
Is peg-15/lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or mechanistic data identified (h=0, m=0). Exposure: although adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for high‑MW silicone/PEG crosspolymers, infant skin has higher permeability — therefore exposure scoring increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (e=1). No infant toxicity or developmental studies were found to indicate additional concern.
