Frequently asked questions

Is polypeptide-1 safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety conclusions indicating reproductive hazard for polypeptide/EGF‑type peptides; peptides are large molecules that are generally not systemically bioavailable after topical application and are rapidly degraded (PubMed; PubChem; CosIng). No animal or human reproductive toxicity data identified that would indicate H361/H360‑level concern.
Is polypeptide-1 safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation/infant harm in regulatory resources (no harmonised classification, no CIR/SCCS warnings). Large peptide nature predicts low systemic exposure from topical use, making significant transfer into breast milk unlikely (PubMed; PubChem).
Is polypeptide-1 safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism unchanged (no evidence of reproductive/Developmental toxicity). Exposure given immature infant skin is increased by one level per instructions: although adult topical absorption is negligible for large peptides, infants (0–3 yr) have higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and less mature barrier, so exposure scored as low but measurable (elevated from 0 to 1).
How does VeriMom score polypeptide-1?
