Frequently asked questions
- Is cucurbita pepo seed oil safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment listing reproductive hazard for cucurbita pepo seed oil. PubChem and CosIng list the substance without reproductive toxicity flags; EWG rates pumpkin seed oil as low hazard. As a vegetable seed oil it is expected to have low but measurable dermal absorption when used topically, so exposure is rated low (1).
- Is cucurbita pepo seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in available regulatory sources (no harmonised CLP, no CIR/SCCS concern). Dermal absorption from topical use is likely low but measurable, so exposure rated 1.
- Is cucurbita pepo seed oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazards reported in regulatory sources. Mechanistic evidence lacking. Because infant skin has higher permeability and surface-area-to-weight, exposure score is increased by +1 from adult (1 → 2) to reflect higher absorption potential.
