Frequently asked questions

Is polyurethane-11 safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety warning was identified for polyurethane-11. It is a high-molecular-weight film-forming polymer used in cosmetics and is generally considered to have negligible dermal absorption, and no peer-reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity was found in available databases (PubMed, PubChem, ECHA dossiers).
Is polyurethane-11 safe while breastfeeding?
Given the polymeric, high‑molecular‑weight nature of polyurethane-11 and the absence of reproductive/toxicokinetic or lactation transfer data or regulatory flags (no ECHA harmonised classification; no CIR/SCCS contraindications), systemic exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible, so breastfeeding risk is not indicated.
Is polyurethane-11 safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants was identified. Because polyurethane-11 is a polymer with very low expected dermal absorption in adults, hazard/mechanism scores remain 0, but infant exposure score is increased by +1 to reflect the immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight in 0–3‑year olds (adult exposure judged negligible but not absolutely zero).
How does VeriMom score polyurethane-11?
VeriMom scores polyurethane-11 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.
