Frequently asked questions
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety opinions were identified for Backhousia citriodora leaf extract. Peer‑reviewed literature does not provide clear animal or human reproductive toxicity evidence for this specific extract. As a plant extract containing small volatile constituents (e.g., citral/aldehydes in lemon myrtle), dermal absorption from typical cosmetic use is considered low but measurable (conservative assignment: e=1). Sources consulted: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised H360/H361), SCCS/CIR (no specific assessment), PubMed (no clear reproductive studies), CosIng, PubChem.
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classification. Dermal exposure from cosmetics could result in low systemic exposure; therefore a low but measurable exposure score (e=1) is used for breastfeeding adults in absence of specific pharmacokinetic data. Sources consulted: ECHA Annex VI, SCCS/CIR, PubMed, CosIng, PubChem.
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data were identified for the extract. Per instructions, exposure for 0–3 yr skin is increased by +1 relative to adults because of immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight; thus e=2. Note: the extract can contain known skin sensitisers (e.g., citral) which are relevant for irritation/sensitisation in infants but were not scored here for reproductive hazard. Sources consulted: PubMed, CosIng, EWG, PubChem.
