Frequently asked questions

Is gossypium herbaceum safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety warning was identified for Gossypium herbaceum (cotton) as used in cosmetics. No peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity or endocrine disruption specific to Gossypium herbaceum was found; typical topical use of plant extracts yields negligible systemic exposure (CosIng, PubChem, PubMed search yielded no relevant reproductive toxicity studies).
Is gossypium herbaceum safe while breastfeeding?
No data or regulatory flags indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazards for Gossypium herbaceum were identified. Absent evidence of systemic toxicity or known mammary transfer, topical cosmetic use is not expected to pose a specific breastfeeding risk (ECHA Annex VI contains no harmonised classification for this ingredient; no CIR or SCCS adverse findings).
Is gossypium herbaceum safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity was identified. However, because infant skin has higher permeability, absorption potential is greater than for adults; given topical plant extracts are not completely non‑absorbable, exposure score increased by +1 for babies (CosIng, general dermal absorption principles). No infant‑specific adverse data were found in PubMed or regulatory dossiers.
