Frequently asked questions
- Is colostrum safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concern found. Colostrum is a complex biological milk product (PubChem, PubMed) and there are no credible data reporting teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use; therefore default hazard/mechanism are 0 and topical exposure is expected to be negligible.
- Is colostrum safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-related toxicity. If applied to the breast and subsequently ingested by the nursing infant, the material is food-derived (milk proteins), but there is no evidence of systemic reproductive hazard. Consider non-reproductive risk of milk-protein exposure (allergy) separate from the reproductive scoring.
- Is colostrum safe for baby skin?
- No reproductive hazard identified. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants because their skin barrier is immature; although dermal absorption of large proteins is expected to be low, infant percutaneous uptake is higher than adults. Note: milk proteins in colostrum can be allergenic/sensitising for infants with cow's-milk protein allergy (PubMed), but that is not a reproductive hazard and does not change h/m scores.
- How does VeriMom score colostrum?
