Frequently asked questions
- Is darutoside safe during pregnancy?
- Animal evidence: an experimental rat study reported that darutoside caused termination of early pregnancy at 20–40 mg/kg, indicating a suspected reproductive/abortifacient effect in animals (PubMed). No harmonised CLP classification, SCCS opinion, or CIR safety assessment for darutoside was found to contradict this, so the animal finding drives a 'suspected' score. Topical cosmetic use likely gives low but measurable systemic exposure (glycoside, used at low % in formulations), so exposure rated low (e=1).
- Is darutoside safe while breastfeeding?
- No data on transfer into human milk or lactation-specific studies were found; the same animal reproductive signal supports a suspected hazard (h=2) but there is no demonstrated mechanism of milk transfer. Dermal/topical use would likely result in low but potentially measurable systemic exposure in adults (e=1).
- Is darutoside safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific toxicology available. Per your guidance, because darutoside shows an animal reproductive effect and topical use has measurable absorption in adults, baby skin exposure is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2) to account for immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; hazard and mechanism scores are not increased without infant-specific evidence. No regulatory body (harmonised CLP, SCCS, CIR) provides a contrary safety opinion. (See sources below.)
