Frequently asked questions

Is eugenia caryophyllus flower extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR conclusion indicating reproductive hazard for clove flower extract as used in cosmetics; major constituents (eugenol) have local toxicity/sensitisation concerns but not harmonised H360/H361 reproductive classifications. Topical use gives low but measurable systemic exposure (eugenol is dermally absorbable at low levels). Sources: CIR, ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised CLP for this extract), PubChem, SCCS/CIR commentary.
Is eugenia caryophyllus flower extract safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no regulatory/authoritative classification for reproductive/lactation hazard for the extract; dermal exposure could lead to low systemic levels, so low measurable exposure is possible during breastfeeding. Sources: CIR, PubChem, ECHA data.
Is eugenia caryophyllus flower extract safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific reproductive or developmental hazard data for the extract. Because constituents (eugenol) are dermally absorbable and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 versus adult (low → moderate). Skin-sensitisation potential of clove constituents remains a separate concern for infants. Sources: CIR, PubChem, ECHA.
