VeriMom¿Es castor oil seguro durante el embarazo?
Oral castor oil (ricinoleic acid) has a demonstrated uterotonic effect via activation of prostaglandin EP3 receptors and has been used historically to induce labor; clinical studies and systematic reviews report increased likelihood of labor after oral dosing, so topical/oral use in pregnancy is cautioned. There is no EU Annex II/III ban or harmonised CMR classification for castor oil, and ECHA registration dossiers report no adverse reproductive effects in long-term dietary animal studies; however the documented pharmacologic uterotonic mechanism justifies a 'suspected' hazard for pregnancy. (PubMed: mechanism and clinical trials; ECHA registration dossier; CIR safety assessment).

- Oral castor oil (ricinoleic acid) has a demonstrated uterotonic effect via activation of prostaglandin EP3 receptors and has been used historically to induce labor; clinical studies and systematic reviews report increased likelihood of labor after oral dosing, so topical/oral use in pregnancy is cautioned. There is no EU Annex II/III ban or harmonised CMR classification for castor oil, and ECHA registration dossiers report no adverse reproductive effects in long-term dietary animal studies; however the documented pharmacologic uterotonic mechanism justifies a 'suspected' hazard for pregnancy. (PubMed: mechanism and clinical trials; ECHA registration dossier; CIR safety assessment).
- ¿Es castor oil seguro durante la lactancia?
- No harmonised CMR or regulatory ban. No peer-reviewed evidence that topical castor oil during lactation causes reproductive toxicity or harms breastfed infants. Systemic absorption from normal cosmetic topical use is low; therefore hazard and mechanism scores are 0, exposure scored as low but measurable. (CIR safety assessment; ECHA registration data).
- ¿Es castor oil seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity from topical castor oil. Cosmetic-grade castor oil is widely used on infant skin (e.g., nappy creams) and CIR/ECHA materials do not list developmental hazards. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and more permeable barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2), but hazard and mechanism remain 0 absent infant-specific adverse data. (CIR assessment; ECHA registration).
