HIGH RISK

Dois-je éviter gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom

ECHA/REACH substance information and brief profile show methyl salicylate (the main component of Gaultheria procumbens oil) with harmonised classification H361d (suspected of damaging the unborn child), which by your rules maps to h=2. Animal reproductive/developmental studies report developmental effects after oral/dermal exposures to methyl salicylate; SCCS/EU scientific advice documents and CIR commentary discuss these data and children's exposure concerns. Dermal use in cosmetics can lead to measurable systemic exposure (methyl salicylate is absorbed and metabolised to salicylate), so exposure is not negligible for topical products.

FAQ

gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?
ECHA/REACH substance information and brief profile show methyl salicylate (the main component of Gaultheria procumbens oil) with harmonised classification H361d (suspected of damaging the unborn child), which by your rules maps to h=2. Animal reproductive/developmental studies report developmental effects after oral/dermal exposures to methyl salicylate; SCCS/EU scientific advice documents and CIR commentary discuss these data and children's exposure concerns. Dermal use in cosmetics can lead to measurable systemic exposure (methyl salicylate is absorbed and metabolised to salicylate), so exposure is not negligible for topical products.
gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
Salicylate metabolites are known to be excreted into human milk (aspirin/salicylate literature and LactMed), and methyl salicylate is metabolised to salicylate, so a plausible pathway to breast milk exists. Regulatory and toxicology reviews flag methyl salicylate for reproductive/developmental concern (ECHA harmonised H361d and regulatory evaluations); therefore breastfeeding risk is elevated relative to inert cosmetic ingredients and scored h=2.
gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
The hazard driver (methyl salicylate) carries suspected developmental/reproductive toxicity (H361d). Topical exposure to an oil high in methyl salicylate can produce systemic salicylate levels; infant skin has higher per-weight absorption and immature barrier, so exposure score is increased by +1. There are case reports and regulatory notes of severe salicylate toxicity in infants after topical/accidental exposures to methyl salicylate-containing preparations, supporting elevated exposure concern for 0–3 year olds.
Comment VeriMom évalue-t-il gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil ?
VeriMom évalue gaultheria procumbens flower/leaf/stem oil à 13/100 (risque élevé) sur la base du statut EU CosIng, des classifications ECHA et des études PubMed.
