Frequently asked questions
- Is silk powder safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI). PubChem/CAS records and cosmetic databases (CosIng) list silk powder (CAS 9009-99-8) as a protein-based cosmetic ingredient with no published reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity data; no SCCS opinion or CIR reproductive concerns found. As a high-molecular-weight protein/powder, dermal systemic absorption as intact molecule is expected to be negligible for adults (sources: PubChem, CosIng, ECHA Annex VI).
- Is silk powder safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no reproductive/breastfeeding-specific hazards identified in ECHA/CIR/PubMed/CosIng. Topical use of a proteinaceous powder is unlikely to produce systemic maternal exposures sufficient to reach breast milk in meaningful amounts (PubChem, CosIng, PubMed absence of data).
- Is silk powder safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Mechanism score 0 (no known reproductive mechanism). For exposure, infant skin has higher permeability; although adult dermal absorption is considered negligible, immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight justify a conservative exposure score of 1 for 0–3 yr (CosIng, general dermal absorption principles; no direct absorption data for silk powder found).
