¿Es borago officinalis seed oil seguro durante el embarazo?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no CIR or SCCS ruling identifying a reproductive hazard for topical cosmetic use; mainstream sources (ECHA Annex VI absence of harmonised classification, EWG entry: low-to-moderate concern focused on oral use/PA contamination, and PubChem/ECHA dossiers indicating cosmetic emollient use) indicate no demonstrated teratogenic or reproductive hazard from topical use. Oral preparations of borage (containing potential PAs or systemic GLA dosing) have been the focus of safety concerns, but that does not translate into a CLP-level flag for topical cosmetic use.

- ¿Es borago officinalis seed oil seguro durante la lactancia?
- No regulatory or peer-reviewed evidence showing topical borage seed oil causes reproductive/human lactation toxicity. Systemic uptake from cosmetic topical application is expected to be negligible; oral supplementation studies show maternal dietary GLA can appear in milk but that is not relevant to topical cosmetic exposure. No harmonised classifications or SCCS/CIR contraindications for breastfeeding.
- ¿Es borago officinalis seed oil seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infant dermal exposure. However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight so dermal exposure is given a higher exposure score (+1). Borage seed oil is commonly used as an emollient and fatty-acid source in baby products; no regulatory flags (ECHA Annex VI, SCCS/CIR) indicate hazard for baby topical use. Ensure oil is refined and low in PAs for products intended for infants.
