Frequently asked questions
- Is lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR reproductive safety finding, and no peer‑reviewed evidence indicating reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity for 'Lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract'. As a complex fermented botanical/microbial extract there is no specific CAS or harmonised flag; defaults to no evidence of reproductive hazard for topical cosmetic use.
- Is lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data from ECHA Annex VI, SCCS, CIR or identified peer‑reviewed studies demonstrating hazard or mechanism relevant to lactation or transfer in milk. Topical cosmetic use therefore is not known to pose a breastfeeding hazard.
- Is lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. However, immature infant skin has higher permeability; in absence of specific dermal absorption studies for this ferment extract, exposure for 0–3 yr is rated as low but measurable (adult exposure assumed negligible for typical cosmetic use, infant exposure increased by one level per the scoring rules). Note also that citrus peel can contain phototoxic constituents (e.g., furanocoumarins) in some lemon preparations, but no specific data were found for this fermented extract to indicate phototoxic/repro effects.
