VeriMom¿Debo evitar melaleuca alternifolia flower/leaf/stem extract durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
ECHA/RAC documentation (CLH opinion) concluded Melaleuca alternifolia extract (tea tree oil, CAS 85085-48-9) meets criteria for Reproductive Toxicity Category 1B with hazard statement H360Fd based on animal developmental/reproductive findings; this is equivalent to an H360-level harmonised concern (h=3). Mechanistic signals are supported by demonstrated effects in animal/developmental studies and evidence on active constituents (m=2). Dermal/topical use gives measurable absorption for lipophilic essential oil constituents so exposure is moderate for adults (e=2). (Sources: ECHA/RAC CLH opinion; CIR review; PubMed systematic review).

- ¿Es melaleuca alternifolia flower/leaf/stem extract seguro durante la lactancia?
- Given the ECHA/RAC Repr.1B conclusion for the oil (H360Fd), the same reproductive/ developmental hazard level is applied for lactation/ breastfeeding exposure in absence of infant‑specific data (h=3). Mechanistic evidence from animal studies applies (m=2). Dermal application has measurable absorption and potential for systemic exposure in the lactating parent (e=2).
- ¿Es melaleuca alternifolia flower/leaf/stem extract seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanistic scores are retained (no infant‑specific data to change h or m). Exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin because infants 0–3 years have higher dermal absorption and surface‑area‑to‑weight, and the oil contains absorbable lipophilic constituents (adult e=2 → infant e=3).
