Frequently asked questions
- Is polyisoprene safe during pregnancy?
- CIR’s expert review of polyenes (which explicitly lists polyisoprene) concluded these polymers are “safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration” and noted lack of functional groups and very low likelihood of significant dermal absorption. No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or SCCS/CIR contraindications for pregnancy were found. (CIR; ECHA).
- Is polyisoprene safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: the CIR panel finding of biological inertness and minimal systemic absorption for polyenes applies to polyisoprene used cosmetically, and no reproductive or lactation-specific hazards or harmonised CLP classifications were identified. (CIR; ECHA).
- Is polyisoprene safe for baby skin?
- CIR evaluated polyisoprene within the polyene group and concluded negligible systemic availability from topical use due to poor solubility; no infant-specific adverse data were located. Therefore no increased hazard or mechanism scores were assigned; available sources do not indicate measurable absorption requiring an exposure-score increase for infants. (CIR; ECHA).
- How does VeriMom score polyisoprene?
