Frequently asked questions
- Is bioflavonoids safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive hazard was identified for CAS 61788-55-4 (bioflavonoids). The Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessment of citrus-derived ingredients (covers flavonoids from citrus) treats these ingredients as safe as used in cosmetics, and regulatory INCI/COSING listings treat “Bioflavonoids (flavonoids, lemon oil)” as a botanical extract/INCI, not a classified reproductive toxicant. Topical absorption for flavonoid extracts is possible but generally low at cosmetic use concentrations, so exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is low but measurable. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/cfruit122015rep.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- Is bioflavonoids safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence found of a breastfeeding-specific reproductive or lactation hazard for this INCI/CAS. Regulatory reviews (CIR) and COSING list bioflavonoids as cosmetic ingredients without reproductive classification; peer‑reviewed literature on citrus flavonoids (e.g., hesperidin/naringin) mainly reports pharmacologic/antioxidant effects or protective effects in animal models rather than human teratogenicity or lactation toxicity. Topical exposure during breastfeeding would be expected to be low but measurable. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/cfruit122015rep.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- Is bioflavonoids safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicological flags or harmonised classifications were identified. Following the requested scoring rules, because adult topical exposure is low but measurable (e=1), infant skin exposure is increased by +1 due to immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, giving e=2. No infant-specific hazard or mechanism data were found to increase h or m. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/cfruit122015rep.pdf?utm_source=openai))
