Frequently asked questions

Is vinyl dimethicone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction was identified for vinyl dimethicone. Regulatory and safety sources for silicones (ECHA, CosIng, PubChem) and the absence of hazard flags indicate no evidence of reproductive hazard for topical cosmetic use.
Is vinyl dimethicone safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating harmonised reproductive or lactation-related hazards. Silicones such as dimethicone/vinyl-functional dimethicones are regarded as having negligible systemic absorption after topical use, so breastfeeding exposure is not expected.
Is vinyl dimethicone safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Adult dermal absorption is negligible (adult e=0), but because infant skin barrier is immature, a conservative slight increase in exposure score is applied (e=1). No infant-specific adverse data found in regulatory sources.
