Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium bisulfite safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (H360/H361) for sodium bisulfite in ECHA Annex VI; the only harmonised hazard is H302 (harmful if swallowed). No CIR or SCCS reproductive safety bans or pregnancy-specific warnings were identified in the provided regulatory context, and no peer-reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or adverse developmental effects was identified in the sources consulted.
- Is sodium bisulfite safe while breastfeeding?
- No reproductive or lactation-specific hazards (no H360/H361) in ECHA Annex VI and no authoritative safety assessments (CIR/SCCS) indicating risk to nursing infants. No data found indicating transfer into human milk or demonstrated developmental toxicity relevant to breastfeeding.
- Is sodium bisulfite safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard (no harmonised H360/H361) and no known specific reproductive mechanism. Exposure: dermal exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low in adults; because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 for ages 0–3 (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant-specific toxicity data were identified.
