Frequently asked questions
- Is litchi chinensis pericarp extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard for Litchi chinensis pericarp extract. Peer‑reviewed literature on lychee pericarp reports antioxidant/antimicrobial activity but no consistent reproductive or developmental toxicity data; therefore default no evidence of reproductive hazard or mechanism and exposure from typical topical cosmetic use is considered negligible.
- Is litchi chinensis pericarp extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazards, no harmonised classification, and no CIR/SCCS restrictions. No mechanistic or animal/human data showing transfer into milk or effects on nursing infants.
- Is litchi chinensis pericarp extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity specific to infants. Given that plant polyphenolic extracts are not completely non‑absorbable, and infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adult (adult e=0 → infant e=1). No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism identified.
