Frequently asked questions
- Is pentapeptide-18 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment indicating reproductive or developmental hazard for pentapeptide‑18; no reported animal or human reproductive toxicity in available cosmetic ingredient summaries. As a short synthetic peptide used topically it is expected to be of low systemic reproductive hazard (sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem, PubMed search summary).
- Is pentapeptide-18 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation/milk transfer hazard. Topical peptide use has low expected systemic availability and no evidence of effects on lactation or breastfed infants (sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed).
- Is pentapeptide-18 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental data identified. Exposure: increased relative exposure for infants (0–3 yr) compared with adults due to immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; adult topical absorption considered negligible but per protocol infant exposure is increased by +1 (sources: CosIng, PubChem, general dermal absorption principles cited in regulatory guidance).
