Frequently asked questions
- Is polyglyceryl-3 dicitrate/stearate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identified for polyglyceryl-3 dicitrate/stearate; no peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data found in PubMed. Chemical is a high‑molecular‑weight polyol ester expected to have low dermal systemic availability, so default hazard/mechanism scores are 0. Sources searched: ECHA (no Annex VI entry), CosIng, PubChem, PubMed, EWG (no reproductive flags).
- Is polyglyceryl-3 dicitrate/stearate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-related toxicity or transfer into breast milk. As for pregnancy, no harmonised classification or safety assessment (SCCS/CIR) identifies a concern. Dermal use in cosmetics is unlikely to give significant systemic levels that would lead to meaningful breast milk exposure.
- Is polyglyceryl-3 dicitrate/stearate safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicology data located. Ingredient is a large polyglyceryl ester (low expected dermal penetration); however, per guidance, infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and more permeable barrier, so exposure score increased by +1 relative to adult (from 0 to 1). No evidence to change hazard or mechanism scores for infants.
