Frequently asked questions
- Is sodium stearoyl lactylate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI, no SCCS or CIR safety conclusions indicating reproductive hazard, and available toxicology databases (PubChem/ECHA dossiers) show no reproductive/teratogenic findings; therefore default hazard/mechanism 0. Typical topical cosmetic use indicates negligible systemic reproductive exposure.
- Is sodium stearoyl lactylate safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating mammary transfer or lactation-related reproductive toxicity; no harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS warnings. Topical cosmetic use implies minimal systemic absorption and negligible exposure to breast milk.
- Is sodium stearoyl lactylate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants; mechanism not demonstrated. Because sodium stearoyl lactylate is a surfactant/emulsifier with potential for some dermal contact and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 versus adult (measurable but still low absorption).
