Frequently asked questions

Is sodium gluconate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications for sodium gluconate (ECHA Annex VI). Regulatory and ingredient databases (CosIng, ECHA registration summaries, PubChem) and available safety commentary report low systemic toxicity and no reproductive or teratogenic warnings; no SCCS or CIR safety opinions identify reproductive hazards. Peer-reviewed literature contains no clear signals of reproductive toxicity for sodium gluconate.
Is sodium gluconate safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as for pregnancy: no harmonised classification or regulatory safety assessments indicating reproductive or lactation-related hazards, and no published evidence of transfer/ toxicity in breastfed infants. Sodium gluconate is a water‑soluble salt with low systemic toxicity reported in dossiers and databases (ECHA, PubChem, CosIng, EWG).
Is sodium gluconate safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to infants. Mechanistic data are lacking. Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible in adults (water‑soluble, low systemic toxicity), but per guidance infant skin has higher relative absorption; therefore exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin. No infant‑specific toxicokinetic or dermal penetration studies were identified.
How does VeriMom score sodium gluconate?
