Frequently asked questions
- Is ostrich egg yolk extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR safety assessment, and no peer‑reviewed reproductive/toxicity data located for 'ostrich egg yolk extract' or equivalent in PubMed. By default (CIR ‘safe as used’ absent contradictory data) there is no evidence of reproductive hazard.
- Is ostrich egg yolk extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating transfer to breastmilk or lactation toxicity; no regulatory or peer‑reviewed safety flags (ECHA Annex VI, SCCS, CIR, PubMed). Potential allergenicity of egg proteins is a general consideration but not a reproductive/lactation hazard per se.
- Is ostrich egg yolk extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity in available sources. Adult dermal systemic exposure judged negligible for a topical complex food‑derived extract; however, due to immature infant skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score increased by +1 (per user scoring rules). Note: potential for topical allergic sensitisation to egg proteins exists but is outside the reproductive scoring.
