Frequently asked questions
- Is sucrose safe during pregnancy?
- Sucrose (CAS 57-50-1) has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and there is no CIR or SCCS safety finding indicating reproductive hazard; toxicology databases (PubChem) and ECHA registration data report low systemic toxicity for topical use, so no pregnancy hazard or mechanism is identified and topical exposure is negligible compared with dietary exposure.
- Is sucrose safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate sucrose in cosmetics poses reproductive or lactation hazards. Systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is negligible, and oral dietary sucrose (common carbohydrate) is not a contraindication for breastfeeding; therefore hazard and mechanism are scored 0 and exposure from cosmetics is negligible.
- Is sucrose safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity for sucrose and no known mechanistic concern. Topical absorption in adults is negligible (score 0) but infant skin has higher permeability; therefore exposure is increased by one category to e=1 for babies 0–3 yr. Cosmetic use is generally considered safe on baby skin absent formulation-specific penetration enhancers.
