Frequently asked questions
- Is cedrus atlantica wood oil safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification found in ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS or CIR reproductive safety opinion identified for Cedrus atlantica (atlas cedar) wood oil; peer‑reviewed literature does not provide clear evidence of teratogenic or reproductive effects for the oil as used cosmetically, so no hazard score is assigned. Topical essential oils are lipophilic and can be absorbed to a low but measurable extent, so exposure is scored as 1 for pregnant topical use (ECHA C&L, PubChem, PubMed search status).
- Is cedrus atlantica wood oil safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as for pregnancy: no regulatory harmonised classification or authoritative safety assessment indicating reproductive or lactation transfer hazards. Low but measurable dermal absorption is possible, so exposure scored 1 for breastfeeding topical use.
- Is cedrus atlantica wood oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazard data were identified; hazard and mechanism remain unflagged. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased by +1 from adult (1→2) for topical application to 0–3‑year‑old skin.
