VeriMom¿Debo evitar sassafras officinale bark extract durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Sassafras bark/root extracts can contain the alkenylbenzene safrole, which is harmonised/classified in the EU as a carcinogen (CLP Category 1B/H350/H351) and is prohibited in cosmetics; carcinogenic/mutagenic hazards are treated as high reproductive concern. Safrole’s metabolic activation leads to DNA adduct formation (demonstrated mechanism). Exposure from topical cosmetic use is low–but measurable unless the extract is guaranteed safrole-free. (ECHA substance data; NTP/Report on Carcinogens; PubMed reviews of alkenylbenzenes).

FAQ
- ¿Es sassafras officinale bark extract seguro durante el embarazo?
- Sassafras bark/root extracts can contain the alkenylbenzene safrole, which is harmonised/classified in the EU as a carcinogen (CLP Category 1B/H350/H351) and is prohibited in cosmetics; carcinogenic/mutagenic hazards are treated as high reproductive concern. Safrole’s metabolic activation leads to DNA adduct formation (demonstrated mechanism). Exposure from topical cosmetic use is low–but measurable unless the extract is guaranteed safrole-free. (ECHA substance data; NTP/Report on Carcinogens; PubMed reviews of alkenylbenzenes).
- ¿Es sassafras officinale bark extract seguro durante la lactancia?
- Same basis as pregnancy: presence of safrole (harmonised EU classification as a CMR) makes the ingredient high hazard for lactation context. Topical exposures are low–but measurable; transfer into milk is not well characterised for cosmetic topical use, but CMR classification and genotoxic mechanism justify a high hazard rating. (ECHA; NTP; SCF/PubMed reviews).
- ¿Es sassafras officinale bark extract seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard and mechanism mirror adult/pregnancy because safrole is a harmonised CMR 1B. Exposure score is increased for infants (+1) because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and less mature barrier, so a measurable topical exposure becomes a moderate exposure for 0–3 yr. Where the extract is confirmed safrole-free, these scores would change. (ECHA; NTP; PubMed reviews).
