Limited information available.
A segment II developmental toxicity test was performed in rats with PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides. 46 The animals were dosed with 0, 1000, 2000, or 3000 mg/kg/day by gavage on days 6 through 17 of gestation. The maternal NOAEL was 2000 mg/kg/day; effects on body weigh were reported at 3000 mg/kg/day. The embryo/fetal NOAEL was 3000 mg/kg/day. No signs of embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity or teratogenicity were noted at any dose level. (No other details were provided.)
General safety info about Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate from CIR
The CIR Expert Panel assessed the safety of 60 PEGylated alkyl glycerides. PEGylated alkyl glycerides are mono-, di-, and/or tri-glycerides that have been modified with ethylene glycol repeat units (in the starting material form as epoxide). Most of the PEGylated alkyl glycerides are reported to function as skin conditioning agents or surfactants. The Panel reviewed the available animal and clinical data, as well as data from the 1999 report for the five PEG glyceryl cocoates and the 2012 report of PEGylated oils, to determine the safety of these ingredients. The Panel concluded these ingredients are safe in the current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating; this conclusion supersedes the 1999 conclusion issued on five PEG glyceryl cocoate ingredients.
