FAQ

pyrethrins est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?

ECHA lists pyrethrins (CAS 8003-34-7) with a harmonised/regulated concern for reproductive effects (H361, “suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child”), which supports a suspected reproductive hazard (h=2). Peer‑reviewed epidemiology shows associations between maternal pyrethroid exposure and altered neonatal/infant neurobehavior and placental gene-expression changes, supporting a demonstrated mechanistic effect on the placenta/fetal environment (m=2). For typical topical cosmetic use dermal absorption is low but measurable, so exposure from cosmetic use is scored as low (e=1).

pyrethrins est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?

Breastfeeding: evidence shows pyrethrins/pyrethroids can be detected in breastmilk after environmental/agricultural exposures and LactMed notes residues have been found in breastmilk after extensive exposure; this supports suspected hazard (h=2). Mechanistic evidence for direct lactational transfer is present but less well‑characterized than placental effects, so mechanism is scored as theoretical/demonstrated but limited (m=1). Typical topical cosmetic use would give low but measurable maternal exposure and thus low infant exposure via milk (e=1).

pyrethrins est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?

Infant (0–3 yr) skin: the hazard assessment follows the parental H361/suspected reproductive/developmental concerns (h=2). No strong infant‑specific mechanistic data that would change the hazard score (m=1). Exposure is elevated for baby skin relative to adults because of immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; adult exposure scored as low (e=1) is increased by +1 for baby skin (e=2). Practical implication: avoid intentional application to infant skin; incidental trace residues are lower risk but not zero.
