Frequently asked questions
- Is peg-90m safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) is listed for this substance, and CIR reviews of PEG ingredients conclude 'safe as used' for cosmetic applications; peer‑reviewed literature and PubChem entries do not report reproductive or developmental toxicity for PEG‑type polymers of this high molecular weight. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI, CIR, PubChem, PubMed).
- Is peg-90m safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity and no mechanism suggesting transfer into breast milk; dermal absorption of high‑MW PEGs is negligible, so maternal systemic exposure (and therefore exposure via milk) is expected to be negligible. (Sources: CIR, PubChem, PubMed).
- Is peg-90m safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Exposure: because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑body‑weight and an immature barrier, absorption is considered slightly higher for ingredients that are not completely non‑absorbable — for a high‑MW PEG like PEG‑90M this is expected to be low but measurable relative to adults, so exposure score is increased by +1. (Sources: CIR, CosIng, PubChem, EWG).
