No harmonised CLP reproductive classification, no SCCS or CIR conclusion indicating reproductive hazard, and the CIR review of monoalkyl glycol dialkyl acid esters (which includes propanediol dipelargonate) found limited/to no reproductive data and did not identify a reproductive hazard for related esters when used in cosmetics. PubMed searches return no reproductive studies for CAS 28267‑33‑6. ([cir-safety.org](https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/Monoalkylglycol%20Dialkyl%20Acid%20Esters_0.pdf))

- Is propanediol dipelargonate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data showing mammary transfer or lactation toxicity; no regulatory (harmonised) classification for reproductive/lactation hazards and no peer‑reviewed evidence of breastmilk transfer for this ingredient. Default CIR/data‑absent approach applies (CIR-type assessments + absence of adverse findings). ([cir-safety.org](https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/Monoalkylglycol%20Dialkyl%20Acid%20Esters_0.pdf))
- Is propanediol dipelargonate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of increased intrinsic developmental hazard. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because this is a dermally applied cosmetic ester with measurable (though likely low) potential for skin absorption compared with an inert non‑absorbable material; CIR review noted limited dermal/systemic data for this class. No infant‑specific toxicity data found. ([cir-safety.org](https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/Monoalkylglycol%20Dialkyl%20Acid%20Esters_0.pdf))
