Frequently asked questions

Is sodium cocoyl isethionate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification exists for sodium cocoyl isethionate and the CIR cosmetic ingredient assessment and available toxicology summaries indicate it is a mild surfactant with no reported reproductive or developmental toxicity at cosmetic exposure levels; dermal absorption is considered negligible for typical rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic uses (CIR; ECHA Annex VI shows no harmonised classification; PubChem toxicology summary).
Is sodium cocoyl isethionate safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicate reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or a mechanism for transfer into breastmilk; safety assessments (CIR) and regulatory dossiers do not flag concerns and there is no harmonised CLP hazard for reproductive/lactation effects (CIR; ECHA Annex VI; PubChem).
Is sodium cocoyl isethionate safe for baby skin?
Ingredient is used in baby cleansers and is assessed as a mild surfactant with no reproductive or developmental hazard; dermal systemic absorption is expected to be low and therefore, following CIR and regulatory summaries, no additional hazard or mechanism is indicated for infants 0–3 years. Typical safety databases and cosmetic listings (CIR; CosIng; ECHA) do not identify infant-specific reproductive or systemic toxicity. (Note: infant skin has higher permeability, but available assessments for this ingredient do not report measurable systemic reproductive risks.)
