Frequently asked questions
- Is polyquaternium-47 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety restriction was identified for polyquaternium-47; available authoritative cosmetic/regulatory sources (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers) and the polymeric quaternary-ammonium class show no reproductive hazard data indicating teratogenicity or H361/H360-level concern, so default score is 0.
- Is polyquaternium-47 safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from regulatory sources or peer-reviewed literature of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity for polyquaternium-47; as a high‑molecular‑weight quaternary polymer it is not expected to have systemic reproductive effects and no SCCS/CIR restrictions were found.
- Is polyquaternium-47 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/safety data were found and no regulatory flags exist (h=0, m=0). Exposure: adult topical dermal absorption is considered negligible (e=0), but because polyquaternium-47 is a polymeric quaternary ammonium (not strictly non‑absorbable) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score for 0–3 yr is raised by +1 to e=1 as a precaution (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers).
