Frequently asked questions

Is centella asiatica flower/leaf/stem extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for Centella asiatica extract (ECHA Annex VI). Regulatory and safety-review sources (CosIng/PubChem entries) and the peer‑review literature do not report human teratogenicity or consistent animal reproductive toxicity for cosmetic topical use; therefore default hazard score is 0. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised classification; CosIng; PubMed literature searches show wound‑healing and topical safety studies but no reproductive hazard findings.)
Is centella asiatica flower/leaf/stem extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive/lactation toxicity or known mechanisms for transfer into breast milk in available safety reviews and peer‑reviewed studies. Typical topical cosmetic use yields low systemic absorption, so breastfeeding hazard is not indicated. (Sources: CosIng, PubChem/CIR-like safety summaries, PubMed.)
Is centella asiatica flower/leaf/stem extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Mechanistic data are absent (m=0). Absorption from topical preparations is not zero; because infant skin has higher surface‑area:weight and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 (e=1) relative to adults. No harmonised CLP flags or peer‑reviewed infant‑specific toxicity reported. (Sources: CosIng; PubMed; EWG consumer summaries.)
