Frequently asked questions

Is phenylpropanol safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was found for phenylpropanol (CAS 1335-12-2), and I found no peer‑reviewed animal or human reproductive toxicity data specific to this substance. Regulatory substance listing at ECHA shows the substance but no harmonised H360/H361/H360D flags. General epidemiology on other phenols exists but not for this specific compound, so per your scoring rules the default is 0/0/0. (Sources: ECHA substance page; PubMed search; EWG entry.)
Is phenylpropanol safe while breastfeeding?
No specific data on lactational transfer or nursing‑infant effects for phenylpropanol (CAS 1335-12-2) were identified in ECHA, CIR/SCCS records or PubMed. Therefore default scores apply (no evidence of reproductive/lactational hazard or mechanism; exposure from normal topical cosmetic use expected to be negligible).
Is phenylpropanol safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific studies were found. Following your instructions, because phenylpropanol is a small organic alcohol with measurable (but low) dermal use in cosmetics and no evidence of being completely non‑absorbable, I increased exposure (e) by +1 for baby skin compared with adults. No data support increased hazard or mechanism in infants.
