FAQ

Why look for alternatives to bha?

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA, CAS 25013-16-5) is listed in EU sources as a reproductive hazard category Repr.2 (H361) and the SCCS recently evaluated dermal safety (concluding safe up to 0.07% for dermal products) which supports a 'suspected' reproductive hazard classification rather than confirmed teratogen status. Animal studies show reproductive/developmental effects (delayed sexual maturation, reduced hormones, organ weight changes) at high oral doses, supporting demonstrated mechanistic effects (endocrine/reproductive system changes). The typical dermal exposure from cosmetics is low but measurable, consistent with SCCS margin-of-safety-based limits. (Sources: SCCS advice; ECHA substance information; CIR safety assessment; animal studies).

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
