Frequently asked questions
- Is sphingolipids safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR finding that sphingolipids (CAS 85116-74-1 / cerebrosides/ceramide-related ingredients) are reproductive toxicants. CIR’s safety assessment of ceramides used in cosmetics finds these skin lipids acceptable as used, and no H360/H361 classifications were found on ECHA. PubMed literature shows sphingolipids are endogenous and present in higher levels in pregnancy (physiologic), not identified as teratogens. (CIR; PubMed; ECHA/CosIng).
- Is sphingolipids safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-systemic toxicity from topical cosmetic sphingolipids. Sphingolipids are normal components of breast milk (human milk contains sphingolipids), indicating they are biologically present but not identified as breastfeeding hazards; no studies show harm from topical cosmetic use in lactating people. (PubMed; CIR; CosIng).
- Is sphingolipids safe for baby skin?
- No data showing developmental or dermatologic harm to infants from topical sphingolipids; ceramide/sphingolipid cosmetic ingredients are used to support barrier function and are generally regarded as safe by CIR. Because infant skin has an immature barrier and sphingolipids are not completely non‑absorbable lipids, exposure score for baby skin is increased by +1 (per user rules) though hazard/mechanism evidence is absent. (CIR; PubMed; CosIng).
- How does VeriMom score sphingolipids?
- VeriMom scores sphingolipids at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
