Frequently asked questions
- Is honey extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for honey extract (CAS 91052-92-5) and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards. Topical cosmetic use of honey-derived ingredients is generally regarded as safe and there is no credible animal or human reproductive toxicity data indicating teratogenicity or H360/H361 signals (sources: ECHA Annex VI check—no harmonised classification; CIR; PubMed literature reviews).
- Is honey extract safe while breastfeeding?
- There is no evidence that topical cosmetic use of honey extract causes reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity and no mechanistic data showing transfer into breastmilk or lactation effects. No regulatory flags (ECHA Annex VI/CIR/SCCS) or peer-reviewed reports indicate risk to breastfeeding mothers from topical use.
- Is honey extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicate intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard in infants. However, infant skin has higher permeability; although honey extract is not known to be highly bioavailable, per the scoring rules exposure for baby skin is increased by one level compared with adults. Note: contact allergy to bee products is a possible concern for infants with sensitive skin (sources: PubMed reports on contact allergy to bee products; CosIng/PubChem for ingredient identity).
