Frequently asked questions
- Is tetrasodium edta safe during pregnancy?
- Harmonised CLP classification for tetrasodium EDTA (ECHA Annex VI) lists H302 (harmful if swallowed) and H318 (serious eye damage) only; there is no harmonised reproductive classification (H360/H361). Available safety assessments and regulatory databases (CosIng, PubChem) and historical cosmetic use indicate low dermal/systemic absorption for ionic EDTA salts, and no credible animal or human reproductive toxicity data were identified to indicate risk in pregnancy.
- Is tetrasodium edta safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or systemic maternal exposure from topical cosmetic use. Given negligible dermal absorption under typical cosmetic conditions, transfer into breast milk is not expected.
- Is tetrasodium edta safe for baby skin?
- No reproductive hazard identified; mechanism of reproductive toxicity not reported. Dermal absorption of tetrasodium EDTA in adults is considered negligible, but because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score for baby skin is increased by +1 per the protocol (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant-specific toxicity data suggesting additional hazard were found.
