Frequently asked questions

Is betula alba bark/leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment indicating reproductive or developmental toxicity for Betula alba bark/leaf extract. Cosmetic regulatory listings (CosIng) and PubChem entries do not report reproductive hazard; PubMed contains no convincing human or animal reproductive/developmental studies indicating hazard.
Is betula alba bark/leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory sources; however, systemic exposure from topical use is low but measurable for botanical extracts, so a low exposure score (1) is assigned for breastfeeding (possible minimal systemic absorption and theoretical transfer into milk). No mechanistic or empirical data indicate transfer or effects on lactation or breastfed infants.
Is betula alba bark/leaf extract safe for baby skin?
No reproductive/developmental hazard data indicating risk to infants. Because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 relative to adult topical use (default adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant-specific toxicity or sensitization data identified in authoritative sources.
