Authoritative safety reviews do not provide clear, conclusive evidence that geranial is a human teratogen or that it has a harmonised Annex‑VI H360 classification. Many SDSs/self‑classifications list H361 (suspected reproductive toxicant), but these appear to be company/reach dossier or SDS classifications rather than an ECHA harmonised Annex VI entry. SCCS and CIR materials focus on sensitization/allergenicity and use limits rather than confirmed reproductive hazard. For topical cosmetic use systemic absorption is low but measurable, so exposure (e) is set to 1 for adults. Sources: ECHA substance overview; CIR citrus peel oils review; multiple SDSs showing H361 self‑classification; SCCS work on citral/geranial.

- ¿Es geranial seguro durante la lactancia?
- No convincing human or animal data were found showing breastfeeding‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity or transfer in milk for geranial. Mechanistic data for placental transfer or lactational transfer were not found. Dermal use can produce low but measurable systemic exposure, so breastfeeding exposure is rated as low (e=1). SDS/self‑classification entries claiming H361 exist but do not substitute for harmonised classification. Sources: CIR citrus oils review; PubChem/MeSH; representative SDSs.
- ¿Es geranial seguro para la piel del bebé?
- There is no infant‑specific evidence showing geranial causes developmental or reproductive harm in infants (no studies found). However geranial (and citral mixtures) are known skin sensitizers/allergens and dermal absorption is measurable; because baby skin (0–3 y) has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). The primary concern for infants is allergic contact dermatitis rather than systemic reproductive toxicity. Sources: SCCS/cosmetic allergen listings and CIR review; EWG ingredient summary; multiple SDSs noting sensitization.
