Frequently asked questions
- Is capsicum annuum fruit extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification listed in ECHA Annex VI (no H360/H361) and no SCCS/CIR conclusion indicating reproductive hazard; peer‑reviewed literature does not identify capsicum annuum fruit extract as a human teratogen. Topical capsaicinoids have low but measurable dermal absorption, so exposure is low but not negligible for pregnant users (sources: ECHA Annex VI absence of harmonised CLP, PubChem, PubMed, CIR/CosIng absence of reproductive flags).
- Is capsicum annuum fruit extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating breast‑milk transfer or reproductive/breastfeeding hazard. Systemic exposure from topical use is low but measurable, so low maternal exposure could theoretically occur; no evidence of harm to nursing infants from available regulatory/peer‑reviewed sources (sources: PubMed, PubChem, CosIng, ECHA Annex VI).
- Is capsicum annuum fruit extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxic mechanism identified. However, because capsaicinoids are skin irritants and infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure potential is increased for 0–3 yr old skin compared with adults; measurable dermal absorption in adults warrants increasing the exposure score for infants (sources: PubMed on dermal absorption/irritation of capsaicinoids, CosIng, EWG).
