FAQ

Why look for alternatives to lavandula hybrida (lavandin) oil?

Lavandula hybrida (lavandin) oil is listed as a restricted fragrance ingredient in the EU cosmetics framework (entry arising from SCCS/Fragrance allergen work / Annex III labelling), so by your priority rules Annex III → h=1. There is no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361 found) nor clear animal reproductive toxicity data specific to lavandin; however its major volatile constituents (linalool, linalyl acetate, 1,8‑cineole, camphor) are absorbed and have been studied for systemic activity, so a theoretical mechanism concern exists (m=1). Typical dermal cosmetic use gives low but measurable absorption (evidence of dermal absorption/peak plasma for lavender constituents), so exposure for topical maternal use is scored e=1.

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.
