Frequently asked questions
- Is aspalathus linearis leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction identified for Aspalathus linearis (rooibos) leaf extract. Peer-reviewed literature and ingredient databases report antioxidant/anti‑inflammatory activity but no evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects from topical cosmetic use (PubMed, CosIng, PubChem). Therefore default scoring of no reproductive hazard is applied.
- Is aspalathus linearis leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate systemic reproductive toxicity or lactation-specific hazards for topical Aspalathus linearis leaf extract. Dermal cosmetic use would be expected to give negligible maternal systemic exposure and hence minimal transfer into breastmilk (CosIng, PubChem, PubMed). No harmonised CLP flags were found.
- Is aspalathus linearis leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified. Dermal absorption for polyphenolic plant extracts is generally low, but immature infant skin can increase exposure—therefore exposure (e) is increased by +1 relative to adults to reflect higher potential percutaneous uptake; no mechanistic or toxicological evidence supports higher hazard or mechanism in infants (PubMed, CosIng, EWG).
