Frequently asked questions

Is polyglycerin-10 safe during pregnancy?
CIR’s 2023 safety assessment of diglycerin and polyglycerins (includes polyglycerin‑10, CAS 9041‑07‑0) found no reproductive/developmental hazards or classification flags and summarizes available toxicology without DART signals; therefore pregnancy hazard is scored 0. (CIR review; ECHA C&L shows no harmonised reproductive classification).
Is polyglycerin-10 safe while breastfeeding?
No human or animal data in the reviewed literature indicate breastfeeding-specific reproductive/infant toxicity or lactation transfer concerns for polyglycerin‑10; CIR found it safe as used in cosmetics, so breastfeeding hazard, mechanism, and adult exposure are scored 0.
Is polyglycerin-10 safe for baby skin?
No evidence of a reproductive hazard or specific infant toxicity (h=0, m=0). CIR notes high water solubility and very negative log Kow (hydrophilic) and the ingredient is used at low concentrations in leave‑on products; dermal systemic uptake for adults is considered negligible (adult e=0). Per your scoring rules, infant exposure is increased by +1 because infant/young toddler skin barrier immaturity may allow greater per‑kg absorption even when adult dermal absorption is minimal (hence e=1).
How does VeriMom score polyglycerin-10?
VeriMom scores polyglycerin-10 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.
