Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-2 oleate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (no H360/H361) and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment raising reproductive concerns. No published animal or human reproductive toxicity evidence identified in available databases (PubChem, CosIng, ECHA records). Based on available regulatory sources, default conclusion is no evidence of reproductive hazard.
- Is polyglyceryl-2 oleate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating systemic maternal toxicity or transfer into breast milk; ingredient is a relatively high-MW polyglyceryl ester expected to have low dermal absorption and no specific lactation/toxicity signals in regulatory listings. Therefore no breastfeeding-specific hazard or mechanism identified.
- Is polyglyceryl-2 oleate safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or mechanistic data. Dermal absorption from topical use is expected to be low in adults; per instruction, infant exposure score increased by +1 because infant skin is more permeable (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No evidence of developmental/dermal toxicity in infants found in reviewed sources.
