Frequently asked questions

Is phospholipids safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety restriction was identified for 'phospholipids' as a class; cosmetic safety assessments (CIR/SCCS practice) treat phospholipids as biocompatible excipients and no peer-reviewed evidence shows developmental/reproductive toxicity for topical cosmetic use (PubMed, CIR, CosIng).
Is phospholipids safe while breastfeeding?
No harmonised classifications or authoritative safety assessments identify phospholipids as reproductive or lactation hazards; systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible and no data indicate transfer to breast milk after cosmetic use (CIR, PubMed, CosIng).
Is phospholipids safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Intact phospholipids are large amphipathic molecules with low expected systemic bioavailability from topical adult use, but infant/0–3y skin has a less-mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant-specific toxicological signals found in CIR/SCCS/PubMed.
How does VeriMom score phospholipids?
VeriMom scores phospholipids at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
