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.
