Frequently asked questions
- Is hyaluronic acid safe during pregnancy?
- Hyaluronic acid (CAS 9004-61-9) is a high‑molecular‑weight endogenous polysaccharide used topically; CIR and other safety assessments conclude it is safe as used in cosmetics and there is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification or credible animal/human reproductive toxicity evidence. Topical HA shows negligible systemic absorption when applied to intact skin, so exposure to the fetus is not expected (sources: CIR, PubMed, ECHA/CosIng).
- Is hyaluronic acid safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate reproductive or lactation toxicity for topical HA; because systemic absorption from topical use is negligible, transfer into breast milk is unlikely and no mechanism for reproductive endocrine disruption is described (sources: CIR, PubMed, ECHA/CosIng).
- Is hyaluronic acid safe for baby skin?
- Although infant skin has higher permeability, hyaluronic acid is a very large, hydrophilic polymer with minimal percutaneous penetration after topical application; therefore hazard and mechanism scores remain 0 and exposure is considered negligible for cosmetic topical use on infants 0–3 yr (sources: PubMed, CIR, CosIng).
- How does VeriMom score hyaluronic acid?
