Frequently asked questions
- Is aminobutyric acid safe during pregnancy?
- Gamma‑aminobutyric acid (GABA, CAS 56-12-2) has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety warnings, and there are no convincing animal or human reproductive toxicity reports in the literature. GABA is a small polar endogenous neurotransmitter and, as used in cosmetics, is not associated with reproductive hazard in regulatory sources (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; PubMed searches yield no reproductive teratogenicity reports).
- Is aminobutyric acid safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or classification (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem). Topical cosmetic use is expected to give negligible systemic exposure; no data indicate transfer into breast milk or lactation-related effects in humans or animals.
- Is aminobutyric acid safe for baby skin?
- No specific developmental/infant toxicity or classification is identified (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; PubMed). Dermal exposure in infants is more permissive due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; although adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible, a precautionary exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin (adult e=0 -> infant e=1).
