Frequently asked questions
- Is propanediol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for 1,3‑propanediol (CAS 504‑63‑2) and no CIR/SCCS finding of reproductive hazard; animal and human reproductive/teratology data do not indicate teratogenicity. Dermal absorption is measurable for small, hydrophilic diols used as solvents, so low but measurable systemic exposure is expected from topical use (e=1). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CIR/SCCS summaries, PubChem, PubMed reviews.
- Is propanediol safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity for 1,3‑propanediol; no mechanistic data indicating placental/breastmilk transfer or endocrine activity. Topical use may give low systemic levels, so low but measurable exposure for a lactating person is possible (e=1). Sources: PubChem, PubMed, ECHA dossiers, CosIng.
- Is propanediol safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific hazard data indicating reproductive or developmental toxicity; no known reproductive mechanism. Because 1,3‑propanediol is a small, water‑soluble, dermally absorbable solvent, exposure via baby skin is expected to be higher than adult per guidance (+1), so assign e=2. Sources: PubChem, CosIng, EWG, general dermal absorption considerations.
