Frequently asked questions
- Is centella asiatica extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive hazard classification exists for Centella asiatica extract in ECHA Annex VI, and there are no clear peer-reviewed data showing teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use; available toxicology literature and cosmetic databases do not identify established reproductive mechanisms. Topical use may result in low but measurable dermal absorption of triterpenoid saponins and related constituents, so exposure is non‑zero (sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised CLP; PubMed review literature; CosIng/PubChem ingredient entries).
- Is centella asiatica extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from authoritative sources that Centella asiatica extract is a reproductive or lactation hazard, and no harmonised CLP flags. Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is expected to be low but measurable, so transfer into breastmilk is theoretically possible but not demonstrated (sources: ECHA Annex VI; PubMed; CosIng/PubChem).
- Is centella asiatica extract safe for baby skin?
- There is no specific evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity to infants from topical Centella asiatica extract and no harmonised classification. Because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and an immature barrier, exposure scoring is increased by one level versus adults (adult exposure = low/measurable → infant exposure = moderate). No infant-specific mechanistic hazards were identified in the literature searched (sources: PubMed; CosIng; EWG).
