Frequently asked questions

Is brassica campestris (rapeseed) sterols safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found and no CIR or SCCS safety alerts for reproductive toxicity; phytosterols (rapeseed sterols) are commonly assessed as low-to-no reproductive hazard. Dermal cosmetic use may lead to low but measurable systemic absorption of lipophilic sterols, so exposure is considered low. Sources consulted: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), CIR, PubChem, CosIng.
Is brassica campestris (rapeseed) sterols safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard. Systemic exposure from topical use is expected to be low, so transfer into breastmilk is unlikely or minimal based on lack of adverse reports or classifications in reviewed sources (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, CIR).
Is brassica campestris (rapeseed) sterols safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data identified and no harmonised hazard. Because infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight), exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults from low to moderate. Reviewed sources (PubChem, CosIng, EWG, lack of adverse findings in CIR/SCCS) support no known hazard but limited direct infant data.
