Frequently asked questions
- Is calendula officinalis seed oil safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive hazard. PubChem/CosIng list this as a botanical seed oil without reproductive/toxicology alerts; PubMed contains no convincing reproductive toxicity or teratology reports for Calendula officinalis seed oil. Dermal cosmetic use would give low but measurable exposure (typical for topical oils).
- Is calendula officinalis seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of lactation/transfer-related hazard in regulatory listings or peer-reviewed literature. Low topical dermal absorption expected for a plant seed oil, so exposure to breastmilk is plausible but low.
- Is calendula officinalis seed oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/toxicity data identified. Ingredient is a cosmetic botanical oil with no harmonised classification; adult dermal absorption is low (scored e=1) but infant skin has higher permeability, so exposure score increased by +1 to e=2 per instructions.
