Frequently asked questions
- Is camellia sinensis root extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) nor SCCS/CIR finding of reproductive hazard for Camellia sinensis extracts; peer-reviewed literature does not provide convincing animal or human reproductive/teratogenic evidence for green‑tea extracts at cosmetic exposure levels (sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised H360/H361 entry for CAS 84650-60-2; CIR safety assessments; PubMed survey found no reproductive hazard specific to cosmetic Camellia sinensis extracts).
- Is camellia sinensis root extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of breastmilk-mediated infant harm from topical Camellia sinensis extracts in the regulatory literature; no harmonised reproductive/ lactation classification and no CIR/SCCS contraindication for use in cosmetics that would affect breastfeeding (sources: CIR; ECHA Annex VI; PubMed).
- Is camellia sinensis root extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard specific to Camellia sinensis root extract. Dermal absorption from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low in adults (so adult e scored 0), but infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier — exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (per scoring rules). No infant-specific adverse data found in regulatory or peer-reviewed sources.
