FAQ

Why look for alternatives to testosterone?
Testosterone is an active androgen with multiple animal and human-data indications that excess maternal androgens can affect fetal development; regulatory safety data sheets and ECHA records show reproductive-toxicity labeling (many sources apply H360/H361/H362). While I did not find a clear harmonised CLP entry in Annex VI for testosterone on ECHA’s public harmonised list, the weight of peer-reviewed animal evidence supports a ‘suspected’ reproductive hazard (H361-level).

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?
Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.
Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?
Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
