Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-2 isopalmitate/sebacate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR safety concern found for this ingredient; it is a polyglyceryl ester (CosIng/PubChem) with no peer-reviewed reproductive toxicity reports (PubMed). By default and per CIR-style calibration, absence of hazard data → h=0 and no known reproductive mechanism → m=0. As a relatively large, polar ester used as an emulsifier, dermal systemic absorption is expected to be negligible in adults → e=0. Sources checked: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem, PubMed (no reproductive studies found).
- Is polyglyceryl-2 isopalmitate/sebacate safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no reproductive or lactation-specific hazards identified in regulatory databases or literature. No evidence of mammary transfer; low expected systemic absorption from topical use in adults.
- Is polyglyceryl-2 isopalmitate/sebacate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data (h=0, m=0). Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (e=1) because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight, so measurable absorption is more likely even for ingredients with low adult absorption. Still, no direct infant toxicity data were found.
