Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI), no CIR or SCCS safety opinion identifying reproductive hazards, and no peer-reviewed evidence of reproductive or teratogenic activity for PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides or the parent caprylic/capric glycerides; typical dermal absorption from cosmetic topical use is low (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers indicate low systemic toxicity).
- Is peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating transfer to breastmilk or reproductive toxicity; no harmonised classification and regulatory databases (CosIng, ECHA, PubChem) list no breastfeeding-specific hazards. Dermal cosmetic use implies negligible systemic exposure.
- Is peg-8 caprylic/capric glycerides safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity. Exposure: increase by +1 for infants (0–3 yr) because immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio give higher potential absorption compared with adults; ingredient is not considered highly absorbable, so exposure scored as low but measurable.
