Frequently asked questions
- Is myroxylon balsamum pereirae balsam extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR conclusion identifying reproductive or teratogenic hazards. Primary documented hazards are skin sensitization and fragrance allergy (CIR/ECHA/PubChem), not reproductive toxicity; dermal exposure from cosmetics may lead to low but measurable systemic absorption for resinous fragrance ingredients (PubChem, CosIng).
- Is myroxylon balsamum pereirae balsam extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory sources; potential for low systemic exposure after dermal use implies low but measurable exposure during breastfeeding, but no data indicate transfer or milk toxicity (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CIR).
- Is myroxylon balsamum pereirae balsam extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive hazard identified. However, because Myroxylon balsamum (Balsam of Peru) ingredients are known contact allergens and infant skin has higher per‑kg absorption, exposure rating is increased (+1) relative to adults (EWG, CosIng, PubChem); therefore measurable/moderate exposure is plausible for 0–3 yr via topical use and higher surface‑area-to‑weight absorption.
