Frequently asked questions
- Is citrus reticulata peel extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI, no SCCS or CIR reproductive warnings specific to Citrus reticulata peel/peel oil, and no convincing human teratogenic data in peer-reviewed literature; therefore default hazard = 0. Topical use can lead to low but measurable dermal exposure (components like limonene can be absorbed), hence exposure = 1. Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised H360/H361 for this substance), CIR (general cosmetic ingredient guidance), PubChem (constituent profiles).
- Is citrus reticulata peel extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive/maternal toxicity or lactation-specific risks for Citrus reticulata peel extract; systemic absorption after normal topical use is low but measurable, so potential for minimal transfer into breastmilk is low but not zero. Sources: CIR guidance, PubChem constituent data, absence of harmonised classification in ECHA Annex VI.
- Is citrus reticulata peel extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity identified (hazard = 0). Dermal exposure score increased by +1 for infants because infant skin has higher surface-area-to-weight and immature barrier; for an ingredient with measurable adult dermal absorption this yields exposure = 2. Note: risk from skin sensitisation/irritation (oxidised terpenes) is a separate concern but not scored here for reproductive hazard. Sources: CIR, PubChem, ECHA information (no harmonised repro classification).
