3-benzylidene camphor est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?

Authoritative safety review (SCCS, 2013) found multiple in vitro hormonal activities (estrogenic, anti‑estrogenic and anti‑androgenic) and in vivo changes in hormone‑responsive gene expression; SCCS concluded use as a UV filter up to 2% was not safe. ECHA has listed 3‑benzylidene camphor on the REACH Candidate List as an SVHC for endocrine‑disrupting properties and the ingredient is subject to cosmetic prohibitions in EU Annex II. Taken together this supports 'suspected' reproductive/fetal hazard (H=2), demonstrated hormonal mechanisms (M=2) and measurable systemic exposure from topical use (E=2).

3-benzylidene camphor est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?

Same hazard/mechanistic evidence applies (endocrine activity, SCCS concerns; ECHA SVHC listing). Topical cosmetic application can produce measurable systemic levels for lipophilic UV‑filter type compounds, so moderate exposure to the nursing parent (and potential low‑to‑moderate transfer to milk) is plausible though direct milk‑transfer data are lacking; therefore exposure scored as moderate (E=2).

3-benzylidene camphor est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?

Hazard and mechanism as above (SCCS: endocrine activity; ECHA: SVHC for endocrine disruption). Because infants 0–3 years have an immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑body‑weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adult topical exposure (adult E=2 → infant E=3). Infants may therefore be at higher internal exposure and greater sensitivity to hormonal perturbation.
