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).
