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.
