Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-45m safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for PEG‑45M in ECHA Annex VI, no CIR or SCCS safety opinion identifying reproductive hazard for high‑MW PEGs, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity for this substance were identified; PEG polymers are generally considered of low systemic reproductive hazard when used in cosmetics.
- Is peg-45m safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation/transfer hazard in authoritative sources (ECHA Annex VI, CIR); high‑MW PEGs are poorly absorbed and not identified as a concern for breastfeeding in available assessments.
- Is peg-45m safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/infant hazard identified (h=0, m=0). Exposure score increased to 1 because although high‑MW PEGs have negligible systemic absorption in adults, infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio so low but measurable absorption cannot be excluded.
