Frequently asked questions
- Is boswellia serrata gum safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) nor SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction was identified for Boswellia serrata gum. Peer‑reviewed literature and regulatory entries (PubChem, CosIng) do not provide convincing animal or human data showing teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for the gum used topically, so default scoring is 0/0/0.
- Is boswellia serrata gum safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from ECHA/CIR/SCCS or peer‑reviewed sources of reproductive or lactation toxicity or demonstrated transfer into milk for topical Boswellia serrata gum. In absence of data and without any harmonised hazard, the score is 0/0/0 for breastfeeding.
- Is boswellia serrata gum safe for baby skin?
- No specific infant toxicity or developmental effects reported. Dermal absorption data for the resin/gum are limited; given the presence of lipophilic boswellic acids in Boswellia extracts and the immature skin barrier in infants, exposure ranking for baby skin is increased by +1 for exposure compared with adults, but no hazard or mechanism evidence was found.
