Frequently asked questions
- Is nelumbo nucifera flower extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive or developmental hazard for Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) flower extract was found. PubChem and CosIng entries do not list reproductive/toxic classifications, and a search of PubMed yields no clear animal or human reproductive toxicity studies for the cosmetic flower extract. Therefore there is no evidence to indicate a pregnancy hazard from typical cosmetic topical use.
- Is nelumbo nucifera flower extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data (no harmonised classification, no CIR/SCCS opinion, and no peer-reviewed evidence) indicating transfer into breastmilk or risk to nursing infants from cosmetic topical use of Nelumbo nucifera flower extract; absent such data, default assessment is no identified hazard and negligible exposure from normal topical application.
- Is nelumbo nucifera flower extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or toxicity data were located. As a botanical cosmetic extract composed of small-molecule constituents (flavonoids, alkaloids, etc.), dermal absorption is possible though typically low; per the scoring rules, infant exposure is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=0 -> infant e=1) because baby skin has higher permeability. No evidence was found to raise hazard or mechanism scores.
