Frequently asked questions
- Is pentadecalactone safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (H360/H361) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety assessments were found for pentadecalactone (CAS 106-02-5). A peer-reviewed RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment exists and does not identify reproductive/teratogenic hazards, and ECHA shows only company C&L notifications (not a harmonised classification). Topical cosmetic use is expected to give low but measurable dermal exposure for a lipophilic macrocyclic lactone. Sources: RIFM safety assessment (PubMed/ Food Chem Tox), ECHA substance/C&L entries, EWG ingredient page.
- Is pentadecalactone safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazards or mechanisms relevant to lactation were identified in authoritative reviews. Given lack of evidence for systemic reproductive toxicity and expected low dermal absorption from cosmetic use, exposure during breastfeeding is likely low but measurable; no evidence of transfer via milk was located.
- Is pentadecalactone safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/developmental hazards or mechanisms were identified. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No infant dermal absorption studies were found.
