Frequently asked questions
- Is threonine safe during pregnancy?
- L‑Threonine (CAS 72-19-5) is an essential amino acid with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no CIR or SCCS safety flags for reproductive toxicity. Peer‑reviewed literature and regulatory dossiers do not report teratogenic or reproductive effects from cosmetic/topical exposure (sources: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, PubMed, ECHA dossiers). Therefore hazard, mechanism and exposure scoring remain at 0.
- Is threonine safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, no harmonised classification, and no mechanistic data indicating transfer into breast milk from topical use. Regulatory databases (ECHA, PubChem) and safety assessments do not identify concerns for breastfeeding, so scores are 0.
- Is threonine safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity (h=0, m=0). Threonine is a small, water‑soluble amino acid (low lipophilicity) so dermal systemic uptake from cosmetics is expected to be negligible in adults. Because infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin to e=1 to reflect low but measurable potential absorption; no infant‑specific hazard data were found.
- How does VeriMom score threonine?
