Frequently asked questions

Is styrene/acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive warning found for styrene/acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer; polymers of this type are high‑molecular‑weight film formers with negligible dermal systemic absorption in cosmetics, so default hazard and mechanism scores are 0. Sources checked: ECHA Annex VI (no CLP harmonised reproductive hazard), CosIng (ingredient listing), PubChem/CIR (no reproductive safety concerns).
Is styrene/acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no regulatory or authoritative safety assessments indicating reproductive/lactation risk. Large polymer size and typical use as a topical film former imply negligible systemic exposure via maternal use; no evidence of milk transfer. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, CIR/SCCS absence of warnings.
Is styrene/acrylates/ammonium methacrylate copolymer safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain 0 (no evidence of reproductive/toxic mechanism). Exposure increased to 1 for infants because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight — although the polymer is high molecular weight and expected to have very limited absorption, a precautionary +1 exposure score is applied. Sources: CosIng ingredient listing, general polymer absorption principles, PubChem.
