Frequently asked questions
- Is trehalose safe during pregnancy?
- Trehalose is a naturally occurring disaccharide with no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI), no CIR or SCCS safety concerns for reproductive endpoints, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenic or reproductive toxicity in the cosmetic literature (PubChem/CosIng data show no reproductive flags). Therefore default scoring of no reproductive hazard or mechanism and negligible dermal absorption for topical cosmetic use is appropriate.
- Is trehalose safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate trehalose causes reproductive or developmental toxicity, nor is it listed with reproductive hazards in ECHA Annex VI or CIR. Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible, so breastfeeding risk via topical maternal use is not indicated by available regulatory sources (PubChem, CosIng, EWG).
- Is trehalose safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity evidence (h and m remain 0). Trehalose is hydrophilic and expected to have negligible absorption in adults, but given immature infant skin barrier and guidance to increase exposure score for baby skin when adult absorption is not zero, exposure is raised to 1 (low but measurable) for ages 0–3 (sources: CosIng, PubChem, EWG; no adverse findings in CIR/SCCS).
- How does VeriMom score trehalose?
- VeriMom scores trehalose at 100/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
