Frequently asked questions

Is teprenone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard. Peer‑reviewed literature on teprenone (geranylgeranylacetone) reports cytoprotective/heat‑shock protein effects rather than reproductive toxicity (PubMed); PubChem/ECHA entries do not list reproductive classification. Topical use may give low but measurable systemic exposure, so exposure scored as low (1). Sources: PubMed, PubChem, ECHA C&L, CosIng, EWG.
Is teprenone safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in authoritative sources. Mechanistic data do not indicate transfer into milk or endocrine disruption; systemic exposure from topical use is expected to be low but measurable. Sources: PubMed, PubChem, ECHA C&L, CosIng, EWG.
Is teprenone safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific toxicity or developmental hazard identified. Because infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight), exposure score is increased by +1 over adult topical exposure (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No data justify increasing hazard or mechanism scores. Sources: PubMed, PubChem, ECHA C&L, CosIng, EWG.
