Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety opinion identifying reproductive hazards for this ingredient; databases (PubChem, ECHA dossiers, CosIng) do not list H360/H361 or reproductive/teratogenic flags. Thus default scoring is 0. (Sources reviewed: ECHA Annex VI/no harmonised classification, ECHA registration record/PubChem/CosIng.)
- Is sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate safe while breastfeeding?
- No specific data or regulatory flagging for lactation/breastfeeding transfer or effects. Structure and use as a hydrophilic lactylate surfactant make high systemic bioavailability unlikely from normal cosmetic topical use; no mechanistic or in vivo evidence indicating risk. (Sources: PubChem, ECHA dossiers, CosIng, EWG.)
- Is sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants; hazard/mechanism scores remain 0. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because surfactant ingredients have measurable, though low, dermal uptake potential and infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration; EWG shows low concern.)
