Frequently asked questions

Is epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards. Literature on Epilobium angustifolium relates mainly to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant phytochemicals (flavonoids, tannins); no credible animal or human reproductive/teratogenic data were identified in available sources (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng, EWG).
Is epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of lactation/transfer or breastmilk-related reproductive toxicity in regulatory databases or peer-reviewed literature. No harmonised classification or SCCS/CIR restriction was identified; therefore default hazard and mechanism scores are 0 and exposure for topical cosmetic use is considered negligible.
Is epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive/toxicology data were identified. Ingredient is a botanical extract (not a fully non-absorbable polymer); per scoring guidance, increase exposure score by +1 for infants due to immature barrier/higher surface-area-to-weight. No evidence supports increasing hazard or mechanism scores for infants.
