Frequently asked questions

Is polyglyceryl-3 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification in ECHA Annex VI for reproductive toxicity, no SCCS or CIR safety assessment raising reproductive concerns, and no peer-reviewed reproductive/toxicology studies identified in PubMed for this INCI. Silicone-based high molecular weight dimethicones/polyglyceryl silicones are generally considered inert with negligible dermal systemic bioavailability (CosIng/ECHA/PubChem searches return no reproductive flags).
Is polyglyceryl-3 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation transfer hazards in regulatory databases (no ECHA harmonised H360/H361 listings, no SCCS/CIR contraindication). Given expected negligible dermal absorption for large silicone polymers, systemic exposure and milk transfer are unlikely.
Is polyglyceryl-3 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found. Parent silicone polymers have low dermal absorption, but immature infant skin has higher permeability; following guidance, exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No mechanistic or hazard evidence specific to infants was identified.
How does VeriMom score polyglyceryl-3 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone?
VeriMom scores polyglyceryl-3 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone 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.
