Frequently asked questions
- Is butyrospermum parkii oil safe during pregnancy?
- Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification, no CIR or SCCS warnings for reproductive or developmental toxicity, and no convincing peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity from topical use; therefore it is considered safe as used in cosmetics (CIR; ECHA Annex VI absence).
- Is butyrospermum parkii oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate lactation/transfer or reproductive-system effects after topical use; regulatory reviews (CIR) and ECHA registrations do not flag concerns for breastfeeding. Topical fatty oils like shea are not known to produce systemic reproductive toxicity at cosmetic exposures.
- Is butyrospermum parkii oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific toxicology indicating reproductive or mechanistic hazards. Dermal absorption of triglyceride/oil components is low in adults (so adult exposure scored 0), but infant skin has higher permeability/surface‑area‑to‑weight, so exposure score is increased to 1 for 0–3 y olds; CIR and CosIng list shea butter as a commonly used safe emollient for infants.
