Frequently asked questions

Is pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that pentaerythrityl tetra‑di‑t‑butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate is safe in cosmetics at current uses/concentrations; no animal or human reproductive/developmental hazards were identified in the CIR review or the peer‑reviewed summary of pentaerythrityl tetraesters. (CIR; ECHA; PubMed).
Is pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as for pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive classification, CIR safety assessment found no reproductive or developmental signal, and no peer‑reviewed data indicating lactation or breast‑milk transfer concerns. (CIR; ECHA).
Is pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/developmental evidence found and CIR judged ingredient safe in cosmetics. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible given high molecular weight and very low water solubility and CIR conclusions, but per instruction infant/0–3yr skin has higher per‑weight exposure—so exposure score increased by +1 (from negligible adult to low but measurable for baby). (CIR; ECHA).
