Frequently asked questions

Is phytosteryl oleate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive hazard flagged for phytosteryl oleate; ingredient is a large lipophilic sterol ester used as an emollient with no published human teratogenicity. Sources checked: ECHA Annex VI (no listing), PubChem/CosIng entries (ingredient identity/use), and absence of CIR/SCCS safety concerns.
Is phytosteryl oleate safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or harmonised classification. Dermal cosmetic use is expected to have negligible systemic exposure in adults; no data indicating transfer into breastmilk.
Is phytosteryl oleate safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data or classifications. Dermal absorption for large sterol esters is low in adults (adult e=0), but because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 to reflect low but measurable potential exposure. No evidence to increase hazard/mechanism scores.
