FAQ

Why look for alternatives to lavandula angustifolia flower oil?

No EU Annex II/III listing or harmonised CLP classification was found (no H360/H361/H codes). Case reports and in vitro assays report estrogenic/anti‑androgenic activity linked to lavender oil components (Henley NEJM 2007; J Clin Endocrinol Metab review), but a well‑conducted in vivo uterotrophic percutaneous assay in immature rats found no estrogenic activity (Politano et al. 2013). Overall this places hazard at a low/theoretical level (h=1) with demonstrated in vitro mechanism evidence (m=2). Topical cosmetic exposure gives low but measurable systemic exposure (e=1). Sources: Henley 2007 (NEJM), J Clin Endocrinol Metab case series/assays, Politano 2013 uterotrophic negative, ECHA substance records, EWG entry.

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.
