Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglycerin-6 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) recent safety assessment of diglycerin and polyglycerins (including polyglycerin‑3, -6, -10) concluded these polyglycerins are safe as used in cosmetics; no animal or human reproductive/toxicology signals or SCCS/ECHA harmonised H361/H360 flags were identified in the reviewed sources. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/panelbook/safety-assessment-diglycerin-and-polyglycerin-3-6-and-10-used-cosmetics?utm_source=openai))
- Is polyglycerin-6 safe while breastfeeding?
- Same basis as pregnancy: authoritative cosmetic safety review (CIR) covers polyglycerins and finds no reproductive/lactation hazards at cosmetic use; no peer‑reviewed reports of effects on lactation or breastmilk transfer were found in PubMed/ECHA registration summaries. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/panelbook/safety-assessment-diglycerin-and-polyglycerin-3-6-and-10-used-cosmetics?utm_source=openai))
- Is polyglycerin-6 safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants; mechanism score remains 0 because no placental/infant‑specific mechanistic data were found. Exposure score raised to 1 for baby skin because polyglycerin‑6 is a water‑soluble humectant/polyol (larger glycerin polymer) with documented topical cosmetic use and measurable skin activity (humectant) — infant skin has higher absorption potential versus adults, so exposure is increased by +1 per instructions even though adult absorption is low. CIR and PubChem describe cosmetic use and chemistry. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/panelbook/safety-assessment-diglycerin-and-polyglycerin-3-6-and-10-used-cosmetics?utm_source=openai))
