Frequently asked questions

Is macadamia integrifolia (macadamia) nut oil safe during pregnancy?
Macadamia nut oil is a vegetable triglyceride emollient with no harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI and no CIR/SCCS safety flags for reproductive toxicity; peer‑reviewed literature and PubChem do not report teratogenic or reproductive effects for the oil. Therefore default hazard/mechanism scores are 0 and expected dermal absorption for topical cosmetic use is negligible (CIR-style logic).
Is macadamia integrifolia (macadamia) nut oil safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, no harmonised CLP hazard, and no data indicating transfer into breast milk; as a high‑molecular‑weight triglyceride used topically, systemic exposure is expected to be negligible under normal cosmetic use.
Is macadamia integrifolia (macadamia) nut oil safe for baby skin?
No baby‑specific reproductive/toxicity data or classifications. Hazard and mechanism remain 0 by default. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (per instructions) because infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so measurable but still low absorption is plausible for topical oils.
