Frequently asked questions
- Is trihydroxystearin safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS or CIR safety assessment reporting reproductive or developmental toxicity for trihydroxystearin. PubMed and PubChem entries show no reproductive toxicity studies; ingredient is a high‑molecular‑weight lipid/ester with no evidence of systemic reproductive hazard.
- Is trihydroxystearin safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate reproductive or lactation toxicity nor mammary transfer. No harmonised classifications or authoritative safety findings (SCCS/CIR) raising concern; chemical properties (lipid/ester, high MW) and lack of data suggest negligible concern for breastfeeding exposure from topical cosmetic use.
- Is trihydroxystearin safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicology or dermal absorption data identified. As a high‑molecular‑weight, lipid‑type cosmetic ingredient it is expected to have negligible dermal absorption; therefore exposure for baby skin (0–3 yr) is assessed as low/negligible in the absence of specific absorption data.
