Frequently asked questions
- Is kaempferol safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP (H360/H361) or CIR/SCCS cosmetic safety opinion was found for kaempferol, but multiple peer‑reviewed animal and in vitro studies show reproductive‑endocrine activity (e.g., progestogenic effects in ovariectomized rats and modulation of embryonic development in vitro), supporting a ‘suspected’ reproductive concern; systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is likely low but measurable. (See rat in vivo progestogenic study and embryo/bovine in vitro studies; ECHA registration shows dossiers but not harmonised classification).
- Is kaempferol safe while breastfeeding?
- No specific human lactation data were found. Animal and mechanistic data showing endocrine activity and systemic bioactivity (progestogenic/estrogenic modulation) justify a suspected concern for breastfeeding (possible maternal systemic effects and theoretical transfer), while dermal cosmetic exposure is expected to give low but measurable systemic absorption. (See cited in vivo and mechanistic studies and ECHA registration).
- Is kaempferol safe for baby skin?
- Infant‑specific reproductive evidence was not found (so hazard and mechanism are not increased beyond the adult assessment), but because kaempferol has measurable systemic bioactivity and is dermally absorbable, exposure for babies (0–3 yr) is higher due to immature barrier — exposure score increased by +1. No infant-specific toxicity studies were located. (See animal/mechanistic studies and absorption data).
