Frequently asked questions

Is mentha aquatica leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment was identified for Mentha aquatica leaf extract (CAS 90063-96-0). No peer‑reviewed evidence of developmental/reproductive toxicity or endocrine disruption specific to this botanical extract was found in the sources searched (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng, EWG). Therefore default score of no evidence (h=0, m=0). Exposure from normal topical cosmetic use is considered negligible for pregnancy (e=0) in the absence of dermal absorption data.
Is mentha aquatica leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating transfer to breast milk or lactation toxicity for this ingredient in regulatory databases (no harmonised classification, no CIR/SCCS opinion, no PubMed reports). No known mechanism for lactation toxicity identified. Typical cosmetic topical exposures are not expected to result in significant systemic levels (e=0).
Is mentha aquatica leaf extract safe for baby skin?
No baby‑specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified. Mechanistic data are absent (m=0). Although no evidence of significant systemic hazard, infant skin has higher permeability; in the absence of dermal absorption data for this extract, a precautionary minor increase in exposure rating was applied (e=1) to reflect measurable but low absorption potential on immature skin.
