Frequently asked questions
- Is hibiscus syriacus flower extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concern found for Hibiscus syriacus flower extract; peer-reviewed literature on this botanical reports antioxidant/skin-care activity but no reproductive or teratogenic findings. Regulatory ingredient listings (CosIng, PubChem) and ECHA records do not indicate H360/H361 or other reproductive hazard flags, so default hazard/mechanism = 0 and exposure from topical cosmetic use is considered negligible (e=0). Sources: CosIng, ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubMed reviews.
- Is hibiscus syriacus flower extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no evidence of mammary transfer or effects on lactation in available literature or regulatory listings. With no SCCS/CIR restriction or harmonised classification, hazard and mechanism are scored 0 and topical exposure is expected negligible for adults (e=0). Sources: CosIng, PubMed, ECHA Annex VI.
- Is hibiscus syriacus flower extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific developmental or skin-toxicity data were identified; therefore hazard and mechanism remain 0. Per guidance, infant exposure score is increased by +1 because infant skin has higher absorption potential than adult skin and botanical extracts are not completely non‑absorbable, so exposure = 1. Sources: CosIng, PubMed (no infant/toxicology findings), EWG.
