Frequently asked questions
- Is vp/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR safety opinion specifically identifying reproductive hazards for VP/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data found for the polymer itself. Polymers of this type are high molecular weight and generally considered to have negligible dermal absorption; therefore default hazard/mechanism scores are 0. (Sources searched: ECHA Annex VI, SCCS/CIR lists, PubMed, CosIng, PubChem, EWG).
- Is vp/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no specific reproductive or lactation hazards identified for the polymer. With no evidence of significant dermal/systemic absorption for the polymer, systemic exposure to breastfed infants is expected to be negligible.
- Is vp/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of polymer‑specific adverse reproductive evidence. Exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 y because infant skin has a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio; while the polymer itself is poorly absorbed, infant skin increases the possibility of low but measurable absorption. If product specifications allow measurable residual N‑vinylpyrrolidone, risk should be reassessed based on that monomer level.
