VeriMomIs chrysin safe during pregnancy?
Animal and in vitro studies report effects on ovarian function and estrogen receptor signalling (ERβ), indicating reproductive-related activity in non‑human models; no harmonised CLP (ECHA Annex VI), SCCS or CIR reproductive classification was identified, so this is suspected (not confirmed). Sources: PubMed animal study showing ERβ/ovarian effects and PubChem substance summary.

Frequently asked questions
- Is chrysin safe during pregnancy?
- Animal and in vitro studies report effects on ovarian function and estrogen receptor signalling (ERβ), indicating reproductive-related activity in non‑human models; no harmonised CLP (ECHA Annex VI), SCCS or CIR reproductive classification was identified, so this is suspected (not confirmed). Sources: PubMed animal study showing ERβ/ovarian effects and PubChem substance summary.
- Is chrysin safe while breastfeeding?
- Mechanistic and animal data (ER modulation; ovarian effects) raise a suspected reproductive/endocrine concern that could be relevant during lactation, but there are no human lactation/milk‑transfer data or regulatory harmonised classifications; exposure from topical cosmetic use is likely low but measurable.
- Is chrysin safe for baby skin?
- Same hazard/mechanism score as adults based on the animal/in vitro evidence; dermal exposure concern score increased for infants because baby skin has higher uptake per weight and immature barrier — dermal absorption data for chrysin are lacking but the chemical is a small lipophilic flavone so measurable absorption is plausible, so exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr.
- How does VeriMom score chrysin?
- VeriMom scores chrysin at 40/100 (medium risk) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
