Frequently asked questions

Is sodium lauroyl lactylate safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS findings indicating reproductive hazard; available toxicology data (PubChem, ECHA dossiers) do not report teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for topical cosmetic uses, so default hazard/mechanism scores are 0 and exposure from normal cosmetic topical use is considered negligible.
Is sodium lauroyl lactylate safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence in regulatory sources or peer‑reviewed literature of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS contraindication for use during breastfeeding; systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible.
Is sodium lauroyl lactylate safe for baby skin?
No data indicate reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Because sodium lauroyl lactylate is a topically applied surfactant with low expected dermal systemic absorption in adults (adult e scored 0), infant exposure is increased by +1 due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, yielding e=1; still no hazard/mechanism evidence to increase h or m.
