Frequently asked questions
- Is aesculus hippocastanum seed extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction found. Peer-reviewed literature does not provide convincing human teratogenic or reproductive hazard data for topical use; systemic exposure from cosmetic topical use is expected to be low but not zero (typical for botanical saponin-containing extracts) (sources: ECHA Annex VI no classification, PubMed limited studies, CosIng entry).
- Is aesculus hippocastanum seed extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or harmonised classification. Topical use could produce low systemic exposure; no data indicating transfer into breastmilk for cosmetic topical use (sources: PubMed, CosIng, ECHA).
- Is aesculus hippocastanum seed extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicology data found and no harmonised classification. Because infant skin has higher absorption, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults; no data indicate specific developmental or dermal-sensitisation risks unique to 0–3 yr beyond general botanical sensitivity concerns (sources: CosIng, PubMed, EWG).
