Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium polygamma-glutamate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR reproductive safety concerns located, and no peer-reviewed evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for sodium polygamma-glutamate or sodium polyglutamate. Cosmetic safety databases (CosIng) and ingredient summaries (PubChem/ECHA dossiers) list this as a polymeric moisturizing/functional ingredient without reproductive hazard flags.
- Is sodium polygamma-glutamate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate systemic reproductive or lactation toxicity, no harmonised classifications, and no published evidence of transfer to breast milk. As a high-molecular-weight ionic polymer with low dermal absorption expected, systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is likely negligible.
- Is sodium polygamma-glutamate safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: adult dermal absorption is expected to be negligible (so adult e=0), but immature infant skin has higher permeability—therefore an exposure score of 1 (low but measurable) is applied for 0–3 yr skin despite the ingredient being a large, hydrophilic polymer.
