Frequently asked questions
- Is silica dimethicone silylate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or CIR/SCCS reproductive restriction identified for silica dimethicone silylate; it is an inert, surface‑treated silica used as a powder coating/film former in cosmetics (CosIng, PubChem). No peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity or endocrine activity found (PubMed/CIR). Therefore default no evidence of reproductive hazard.
- Is silica dimethicone silylate safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no harmonised reproductive classification or regulatory/safety assessments indicate risk. The material is particulate/surface‑treated silica with very low likelihood of systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use; no data showing transfer into milk.
- Is silica dimethicone silylate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because baby skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and a less mature barrier; although adult dermal absorption is negligible (particulate, high molecular/insoluble), infant exposure potential is higher though still expected low for this insoluble, surface‑treated silica (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers). No infant‑specific toxicity data found.
