Frequently asked questions
- Is malt extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags identified. Malt extract (CAS 8002-48-0) is a complex food-derived mixture (mainly sugars, peptides) with no peer-reviewed evidence of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity in the cosmetic safety literature (CIR/SCCS) or regulatory listings, so default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are 0.
- Is malt extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory classifications indicating lactation/breastfeeding risk. Composition (large carbohydrate/protein components) and absence of known systemic reproductive/toxic effects support no expected risk with topical cosmetic use; no harmonised GHS for reproductive or lactation hazards found.
- Is malt extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found. Malt extract is a high-molecular-weight, hydrophilic, food-derived mixture unlikely to penetrate intact skin appreciably; no regulatory flags for use on infant skin in CosIng or SCCS/CIR. Therefore hazard and mechanism remain 0 and exposure is assessed as negligible for topical use on babies.
