Frequently asked questions

Is arachis hypogaea oil safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS reproductive restrictions; published toxicology does not indicate teratogenicity or reproductive hazard for peanut (arachis hypogaea) oil when used topically. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised repro classification), CIR, PubChem, PubMed.
Is arachis hypogaea oil safe while breastfeeding?
Topical use of peanut oil is not associated with systemic reproductive/toxic effects that would contraindicate use during lactation; expected negligible systemic absorption from cosmetic topical use. Sources: CIR, PubChem, PubMed.
Is arachis hypogaea oil safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity in the literature for topical peanut oil; however, infant skin has higher permeability so exposure score is increased by +1. Main risk for infants is allergic reaction to peanut proteins in unrefined oil, not reproductive toxicity. Sources: PubMed (allergen literature), EWG, CosIng.
