Frequently asked questions

Is bromelain safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361 found) and no SCCS/CIR reproductive prohibition for topical cosmetic use; available safety reviews and pharmacology summaries note systemic effects only after oral/therapeutic doses, not from topical cosmetics. Source: enzyme reviews and regulatory listings. (PMC review; FDA listing).
Is bromelain safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of breastmilk transfer or breastfeeding-specific reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use; systemic distribution is reported after oral administration of therapeutic doses but not demonstrated from topical cosmetic application. (PMC review; product/SDS data).
Is bromelain safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive hazard data. Because bromelain is a protein enzyme with limited dermal absorption in adults, hazard and mechanism scores remain 0; exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight—this gives measurable but low exposure potential for topically applied enzyme-containing products. (Enzyme reviews; cosmetic safety/SDS information).
