Frequently asked questions
- Is macadamia ternifolia seed oil safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity on ECHA Annex VI and no CIR or SCCS safety assessments indicating reproductive hazard for macadamia seed oil; botanical fixed oils are generally considered non‑reproductive toxicants (CosIng, PubChem). Topical vegetable oils have low but measurable dermal absorption, so exposure is low (CosIng, PubChem).
- Is macadamia ternifolia seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classification. Systemic maternal exposure from cosmetic topical use of macadamia seed oil is expected to be low, so transfer into breastmilk is unlikely to be significant (CosIng, PubChem).
- Is macadamia ternifolia seed oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific adverse effects reported and no reproductive mechanistic evidence. However, infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight), so exposure scoring is increased by +1 compared with adults; macadamia seed oil is a topical fixed oil with measurable absorption (CosIng, PubChem, general dermal absorption principles).
