Frequently asked questions
- Is allium cepa bulb extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard. Literature and regulatory databases (CosIng, PubChem, EWG) show Allium cepa bulb extract is a botanical extract used topically with no data indicating teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity; therefore default hazard/mechanism = 0 and exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is considered negligible. Sources consulted: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem, EWG, PubMed (no reproductive safety signals).
- Is allium cepa bulb extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence in authoritative sources (ECHA, CIR, SCCS, PubMed) of lactation-associated hazard or transfer concerns for Allium cepa bulb extract. Topical cosmetic use would give negligible systemic exposure in adults, so breastfeeding risk is not indicated.
- Is allium cepa bulb extract safe for baby skin?
- No specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified for this ingredient. However, infant skin has higher absorption potential; adult topical exposure is considered negligible but not absolutely non‑absorbable, so exposure score for babies is increased by +1 (to 1) to reflect higher per‑body‑weight absorption potential. No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
