Frequently asked questions

Is triolein safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification or SCCS/CIR prohibition was found. CIR-level safety assessment for triglycerides (including glycerol tri- esters) supports safe cosmetic use, and ECHA registration data for glycerol trioleate (triolein) report high NOAELs (≥1000 mg/kg/day) with no reproductive signals. Typical topical cosmetic use gives negligible systemic exposure for large triglycerides. (CIR; ECHA registration; NIST/PubChem identity).
Is triolein safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, no harmonised CLP reproductive/lactation hazard, and triglycerides are generally regarded as safe for topical cosmetic use per CIR. There are no peer-reviewed reports of transfer into human milk or breast-specific toxicity for triolein in the sources consulted; systemic absorption from topical application is expected to be negligible for adults. (CIR; ECHA registration; EWG).
Is triolein safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific hazard evidence was identified. Mechanistic data indicating reproductive or developmental toxicity are absent. Per your scoring rules, because triolein has measurable but low potential for dermal absorption (large triglyceride molecule) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin. Otherwise considered safe as used in cosmetics. (CIR; ECHA registration; NIST).
