Frequently asked questions

Is sodium acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification exists for this crosspolymer (no ECHA Annex VI H360/H361). CIR and SCCS precedent treats high‑MW acrylates crosspolymers as safe for cosmetic use, and the polymer is not expected to be systemically bioavailable; hazards are associated with monomers rather than the polymer backbone (sources: CIR, ECHA registration dossiers, CosIng).
Is sodium acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: the high‑molecular‑weight crosspolymer shows negligible systemic absorption under normal topical use and has no harmonised reproductive classification. Potential risk would come from residual monomers, which are controlled (sources: CIR, ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem).
Is sodium acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 because no evidence indicates reproductive or developmental toxicity for the polymer itself. Exposure is increased to 1 for infants because immature skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; although the polymer is high‑MW and poorly absorbed, a conservative small increase in exposure score is applied (sources: CIR, CosIng, general dermal absorption principles).
How does VeriMom score sodium acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer?
VeriMom scores sodium acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
