Frequently asked questions
- Is aesculus hippocastanum bark extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no authoritative CIR or SCCS safety assessment identifying reproductive hazard. Peer‑reviewed literature documents local vascular/anti‑inflammatory activity of aescin but does not report developmental or reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use; oral/therapeutic use has been associated with gastrointestinal effects, not established teratogenicity (sources: ECHA registration dossiers/PubChem, PubMed).
- Is aesculus hippocastanum bark extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating lactation/infant exposure risk from topical cosmetic use and no regulatory reproductive hazard classification. No demonstrated mechanism for transfer in milk or adverse effects in nursing infants in available literature for topical use (sources: ECHA registrations/PubChem, PubMed).
- Is aesculus hippocastanum bark extract safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: as for adults, no reproductive or endocrine hazard identified. Exposure: given that plant saponin extracts can be absorbed to a small degree topically, immature infant skin increases potential systemic exposure — exposure score increased by +1 versus adult. No infant‑specific toxicity data found (sources: CosIng, ECHA dossiers, PubMed).
