Frequently asked questions
- Is nelumbo nucifera leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found (ECHA Annex VI). No SCCS or CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive concerns for Nelumbo nucifera leaf extract; PubMed literature contains pharmacology/tox studies but no confirmed reproductive teratogenicity. Cosmetic database listings (CosIng, PubChem) do not indicate reproductive hazard.
- Is nelumbo nucifera leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory sources or available peer-reviewed summaries. No harmonised or SCCS/CIR contraindication for breastfeeding identified.
- Is nelumbo nucifera leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No data indicating intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard to infants. As a botanical leaf extract (mixture of polyphenols/flavonoids and higher‑MW constituents), systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low in adults (hence adult exposure scored 0), but infant skin has higher permeability — therefore exposure for 0–3 yr is set one category higher (e=1) as a precaution. No infant‑specific toxicology data were located in authoritative sources.
