Frequently asked questions
- Is malachite extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazard for malachite/malachite extract. No peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity from topical cosmetic use was identified in standard sources (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng). Adult dermal absorption of intact malachite pigment is expected to be negligible, so reproductive hazard is not indicated.
- Is malachite extract safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no regulatory harmonised flags or authoritative safety assessments showing reproductive/lactation transfer risk. Topical use of mineral malachite is unlikely to give meaningful systemic exposure to copper under normal cosmetic use.
- Is malachite extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity data found. Dermal absorption of intact malachite in adults is negligible (hence h/m remain 0), but immature infant skin can increase per‑kg absorption; exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin precaution. No evidence of direct developmental effects from topical exposure.
