Frequently asked questions

Is camellia oleifera (tea-oil camellia) seed extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment raising reproductive concerns was found. No peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity for Camellia oleifera seed extract; ingredient is principally a mixture of fatty/oily components with low inherent reproductive hazard (sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised classification; CosIng / PubChem — identity and composition; PubMed — no reproductive toxicity studies identified). Exposure from topical cosmetic use is low but measurable (typical dermal formulations containing plant oils).
Is camellia oleifera (tea-oil camellia) seed extract safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation-related toxicity or accumulation in milk. Composition (fatty acids/triglycerides) suggests low systemic toxicity; topical use yields low but measurable exposure. No SCCS/CIR or harmonised flags found (sources: ECHA Annex VI; CIR/SCCS absence; PubMed search yielded no breast‑milk transfer data).
Is camellia oleifera (tea-oil camellia) seed extract safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific safety signals identified. Because infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and less developed barrier, exposure score increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → baby e=2). No evidence that the extract is a developmental toxicant or has specific mechanisms affecting infants (sources: PubMed — no infant toxicity studies; CosIng / PubChem — ingredient composition).
