Frequently asked questions

Is phenylisopropyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive warnings were identified for phenyl/isopropyl‑substituted dimethicones; silicones of this class are generally regarded as chemically inert with low toxicity (CIR, SCCS, ECHA database, PubChem) and no reproductive hazard evidence was found in the regulatory literature.
Is phenylisopropyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation transfer risks; silicone oils of this type are poorly absorbed and lack signals for systemic reproductive toxicity in available authoritative sources (CIR, SCCS, ECHA).
Is phenylisopropyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/ developmental toxicity data or mechanistic evidence; Exposure: infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area:weight, so measured absorption for topically applied, not fully non‑absorbable ingredients is considered increased by one category (adult exposure negligible → baby exposure scored as low but measurable).
