Frequently asked questions

Is propanediol dicaprylate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP (ECHA Annex VI) classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety assessment was found for propanediol dicaprylate, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive or developmental toxicity studies were located. By source priority, absence of harmonised flags and authoritative assessments supports a default hazard score of 0. (Sources: ECHA substance page; ingredient listings such as SpecialChem/Incibeauty showing INCI but not CLP classification.)
Is propanediol dicaprylate safe while breastfeeding?
No data identified indicating reproductive/developmental toxicity or mammary gland transfer. There are no SCCS or CIR opinions, no harmonised CLP classification, and no peer‑reviewed studies showing lactation transfer or effects, so default scores are 0 under the provided rules.
Is propanediol dicaprylate safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were found. Adult hazard/mechanism default to 0. Absorption from topical esters is unlikely to be high but is measurable for many esters/emollients; per instructions, baby exposure score is increased by +1 when a compound has measurable absorption — hence e=1 for 0–3 yr skin. No evidence was found to increase h or m for infants.
