VeriMomIs polyurethane-1 safe during pregnancy?
Polyurethane-1 is a high‑molecular‑weight polymeric film former with no CAS and no harmonised reproductive classification listed in ECHA Annex VI; there are no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive toxicity and no peer‑reviewed reproductive studies were identified. Regulatory sources (CosIng/PubChem/ECHA) treat it as a polymeric ingredient with negligible systemic availability from typical topical cosmetic use, so default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are 0.

Frequently asked questions
- Is polyurethane-1 safe during pregnancy?
- Polyurethane-1 is a high‑molecular‑weight polymeric film former with no CAS and no harmonised reproductive classification listed in ECHA Annex VI; there are no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive toxicity and no peer‑reviewed reproductive studies were identified. Regulatory sources (CosIng/PubChem/ECHA) treat it as a polymeric ingredient with negligible systemic availability from typical topical cosmetic use, so default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are 0.
- Is polyurethane-1 safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation/transfer concerns in available regulatory databases (ECHA, CosIng, PubChem); as a high‑MW polymeric film former it is unlikely to be systemically absorbed from cosmetic topical use, and no mechanistic data indicate breastmilk transfer.
- Is polyurethane-1 safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unreported (no data). Exposure is scored +1 versus adult because baby skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and an immature barrier; although polyurethane‑1 is expected to have negligible absorption in adults, some low but measurable exposure cannot be excluded for infants using leave‑on products.
- How does VeriMom score polyurethane-1?
- VeriMom scores polyurethane-1 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.
