Frequently asked questions
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf oil safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for Backhousia citriodora leaf oil was identified (ECHA Annex VI). There are no SCCS or CIR safety assessments indicating reproductive hazard for the oil; the main constituent, citral, is primarily noted as a skin sensitiser rather than a reproductive toxicant (sources: ECHA Annex VI search/no harmonised classification, PubChem/CosIng composition listings).
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or authoritative safety assessment (SCCS/CIR/harmonised CLP) indicating risk from breastfeeding exposure to Backhousia citriodora leaf oil were identified. Without evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity and absent harmonised flags, default scoring is 0 (sources: ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng).
- Is backhousia citriodora leaf oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard data found. Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin because the oil contains low-molecular-weight, lipophilic constituents (e.g., citral/monoterpenes) that are dermally absorbable to a measurable degree and infant skin has higher absorption; however, no infant-specific toxicity data or harmonised reproductive classification were located (sources: PubChem composition, CosIng, EWG allergen notes).
