Frequently asked questions
- Is linseed acid safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive or developmental hazards for 'linseed acid' (CAS 68424-45-3) was found in the reviewed sources. A search of ECHA C&L/registration data, PubChem, CosIng, CIR, PubMed and EWG yielded no peer-reviewed reproductive/developmental toxicity or mechanistic (endocrine) data indicating concern.
- Is linseed acid safe while breastfeeding?
- No data located indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or transfer via milk; no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS opinions raising concerns. Therefore default no-evidence scoring applies.
- Is linseed acid safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific data identified. No evidence of absorption or systemic exposure from topical use in adults was found in the reviewed resources; absent such data, default hazard/mechanism = 0. No basis to increase exposure score for baby skin given lack of measurable absorption data.
