Frequently asked questions
- Is water safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive/teratogenic classification for water (ECHA Annex VI), no indication of reproductive hazard in safety assessments or toxicology summaries (PubChem), and cosmetic inventories list water as the inert carrier (CosIng: AQUA). Therefore no pregnancy-specific hazard or mechanism identified and exposure via cosmetic use is negligible.
- Is water safe while breastfeeding?
- Water has no reproductive or developmental toxicology signal and is not classified for lactation-related hazards (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem). Topical cosmetic use does not present a relevant systemic exposure risk to breastfeeding mothers or infants.
- Is water safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or reproductive mechanism identified (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng). Absorption concern is minimal for adults, but given infants' higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier, exposure score is increased by one (per requested scoring rules) though no evidence of harm from topical water exposure.
