Frequently asked questions

Is lavandula angustifolia extract safe during pregnancy?
No EU Annex II/III listing or harmonised reproductive H‑code was found for Lavandula angustifolia extract (CAS 90063-37-9). Regulatory and authoritative reviews (ECHA substance entry; EMA/HMPC overview) report no major reproductive safety concerns for lavender preparations, and peer‑reviewed studies located concern skin biology or topical effects rather than developmental/reproductive toxicity. Sources: ECHA substance information; EMA HMPC overview; PubMed search found no reproductive/developmental animal data for the extract. (ECHA; EMA; PubMed).
Is lavandula angustifolia extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence in regulatory dossiers, SCCS/CIR opinions, or peer‑reviewed literature that Lavandula angustifolia extract causes reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or transfers in amounts of concern via topical application. Major safety databases (ECHA, EWG Skin Deep) list allergy/irritancy as the primary concerns rather than lactation or developmental toxicity.
Is lavandula angustifolia extract safe for baby skin?
Hazard/mechanism evidence for reproductive or developmental toxicity is absent, so h/m remain 0. Exposure (e) is increased by +1 for infants because infant skin has higher permeability and the ingredient is topically applied; although the extract itself is not reported as highly systemically bioavailable, neonatal skin immaturity makes measurable absorption more likely than in adults. Primary concerns remain topical irritation/allergy rather than developmental toxicity.
