Frequently asked questions

Is citrus grandis fruit extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no CIR or SCCS opinion identifying reproductive hazard for Citrus grandis (pomelo) fruit extract; botanical constituents are low-molecular-weight flavonoids/limonoids with no specific evidence of teratogenicity. ECHA/CosIng/PubChem list the ingredient as a cosmetic botanical extract with no reproductive flags, so hazard and mechanism default to 0. Topical absorption for botanical extracts is low but measurable, so exposure scored as 1. Sources: ECHA (registrations/notifications), CosIng, PubChem, CIR guidance on botanical extracts.
Is citrus grandis fruit extract safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no reproductive or lactation-specific hazards reported in authoritative sources; no demonstrated mechanism for transfer or lactation toxicity. Topical exposure considered low but measurable for adults. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration information.
Is citrus grandis fruit extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity evidence. However, infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, so exposure score increased by +1 compared with adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Note: some citrus-derived ingredients can contain phototoxic furanocoumarins, but no authoritative classification for reproductive hazard for Citrus grandis fruit extract was found. Sources: CIR/general cosmetic botanical safety principles, PubChem, CosIng.
