Frequently asked questions

Is polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found (ECHA Annex VI), no CIR or SCCS safety assessment flagging reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity data identified. The ingredient is a high‑molecular‑weight esterified lipid typically considered low systemic toxicity in cosmetic use (CosIng/ECHA general profiles).
Is polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence from regulatory databases or peer‑reviewed literature of effects on lactation or transfer into breast milk; no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS restrictions identified. As a large esterified surfactant/emollient it is unlikely to pose specific lactation hazards at cosmetic topical exposures.
Is polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate safe for baby skin?
No data indicating reproductive or developmental hazard in infants. Topical exposure to this high‑molecular‑weight lipid is expected to have negligible systemic hazard (h=0, m=0) but infant skin has higher absorption potential; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for babies (e=1) as a conservative adjustment in absence of infant‑specific absorption data.
