Frequently asked questions

Is asiatic acid safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (no H360/H361) and no authoritative cosmetic-safety opinion (CIR or SCCS) establishing reproductive toxicity for asiatic acid; peer-reviewed literature does not provide confirmed human teratogenicity. Dermal exposure from cosmetics is expected to be low but measurable for a moderately lipophilic triterpenoid (asiatic acid), so exposure score is 1. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubChem, PubMed (no confirmed reproductive hazard).
Is asiatic acid safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity relevant to lactation and no harmonised classification. Systemic transfer into milk not demonstrated in available literature; topical cosmetic use would likely give low but measurable systemic exposure in some circumstances. Sources: ECHA Annex VI, PubMed, PubChem.
Is asiatic acid safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards documented. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2) despite no evidence of specific infant toxicity. Sources: PubMed, PubChem, CosIng (ingredient presence in cosmetics).
