Frequently asked questions

Is phytosteryl/behenyl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive warnings found for lauroyl glutamate or related fatty/glutamate esters. CIR/SCCS precedent for sodium lauroyl glutamate and similar amino‑acid surfactants indicates acceptable safety in cosmetics; no animal or human reproductive data indicating hazard (sources: CIR, SCCS absence, ECHA/CosIng listings).
Is phytosteryl/behenyl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate safe while breastfeeding?
No data showing systemic maternal reproductive or lactation toxicity or transfer in breast milk. Ingredient is high molecular weight/lipophilic ester mixture with expected low dermal absorption under cosmetic use; no alerts from authoritative assessments (CIR/SCCS/ECHA).
Is phytosteryl/behenyl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or mechanistic concern specific to infants. Dermal absorption from topical use is expected to be low in adults, but immature infant skin has higher permeability, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult exposure default 0 → infant 1). No infant‑specific toxicology data identified.
