Frequently asked questions
- Is ppg-12-buteth-16 safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive warnings were identified for PPG-12-buteth-16. PubMed and PubChem show no reproductive or developmental toxicity studies indicating risk; cosmetic uses are as a surfactant/emollient with no specific teratogenic signals reported (CosIng, PubChem). Therefore default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are 0.
- Is ppg-12-buteth-16 safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mammary transfer; no harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS restrictions found (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng). Typical cosmetic use and lack of adverse reports support a 0/0/0 rating for breastfeeding.
- Is ppg-12-buteth-16 safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified (h=0, m=0). For exposure, although there are no data showing high dermal absorption, baby skin has higher permeability; since the ingredient is a low-molecular-weight PPG-derived surfactant/emollient and not known to be non-absorbable, exposure for 0–3 yr is increased by one category relative to adults (adult e scored 0 → infant e = 1) (CosIng, PubChem).
