¿Es melia azadirachta leaf extract seguro durante el embarazo?

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is documented as abortifacient, anti-implantation, and anti-fertility in peer-reviewed literature. Listed as "Likely Unsafe" in pregnancy by NMCD/LactMed. Oral and topical use during pregnancy is contraindicated.

¿Es melia azadirachta leaf extract seguro durante la lactancia?

Breastfeeding: same hazard and mechanism as pregnancy because reproductive/endocrine-active constituents (notably limonoids/azadirachtin in neem) have demonstrated reproductive effects in animals. Dermal exposure from cosmetics is low but not zero; systemic transfer to breastmilk after topical use has not been quantified, so exposure rated as low but measurable (e=1). No high-quality human lactation studies found.

¿Es melia azadirachta leaf extract seguro para la piel del bebé?

For infants (0–3 yr) the underlying hazard and mechanism remain 'suspected' (h=2, m=2) based on animal reproductive/endocrine findings for neem extracts. Exposure score increased by +1 relative to adult because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, so dermal absorption and systemic dose per kg are higher (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Additionally, neem extracts are reported skin sensitizers in some contexts. No infant-specific safety trials were identified.
