Frequently asked questions

Is peg-150 safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive ban was identified for PEG-150; peer‑reviewed reproductive/toxicity data specific to PEG‑150 are lacking. CIR/SCCS precedent for many PEG polymers is 'safe as used' in cosmetics and there is no credible evidence of teratogenicity or H360/H361‑level flags. Sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, CIR, SCCS precedent, PubChem, CosIng.
Is peg-150 safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating PEG‑150 is a reproductive or lactation hazard, nor harmonised classification. High‑molecular‑weight PEGs are generally poorly systemically bioavailable after topical use; therefore risk to breastfed infants via milk is not indicated in available regulatory sources.
Is peg-150 safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive mechanism or hazard specific to infants. Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and more permeable barrier; although high‑MW PEG polymers are expected to have low dermal absorption, measurable absorption cannot be completely ruled out without dedicated infant dermal absorption data.
How does VeriMom score peg-150?
VeriMom scores peg-150 at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
