Frequently asked questions

Is citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised classification for reproductive toxicity and no SCCS/CIR finding of reproductive hazard for Citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract; major constituents (e.g., limonene) are not classified for reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem). Topical use leads to low but measurable dermal exposure to volatile/soluble constituents, so exposure is rated low.
Is citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence or harmonised classification indicating reproductive or lactation-related toxicity (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CIR). Dermal application can result in low systemic exposure to constituents (volatile terpenes), so exposure is low but measurable.
Is citrus aurantium dulcis peel extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data and no harmonised classification; CIR/SCCS have not flagged this extract as a developmental hazard. Because infant skin has higher absorption, increase exposure rating by +1 (adult low → infant moderate). Note potential for skin sensitization/irritant reactions from fragrance constituents (limonene oxidation products), which is a separate dermatological concern (EWG, ECHA notifications).
