Frequently asked questions

Is peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR finding of reproductive hazard; no peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data indicating teratogenicity or fertility effects. Regulatory and ingredient databases list PEG‑7 caprylic/capric glycerides as a cosmetic emollient/solubilizer with low systemic hazard (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers).
Is peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation/transfer hazard in humans or animals in available regulatory resources or PubMed. Short PEG chains and medium‑chain glycerides have low systemic toxicity and no documented mechanism for transfer causing infant harm; no harmonised classification or safety alerts were identified.
Is peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental/reproductive hazard specific to infants. Exposure: topical absorption on infant skin is higher than adults for many ingredients; although PEG‑7 caprylic/capric glycerides is not considered highly bioavailable topically, conservative adjustment for immature barrier gives a low but measurable exposure (adult exposure considered negligible; infant exposure scored +1).
