Frequently asked questions
- Is ozokerite safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive hazard classification (no H360/H361) was found for ozokerite (CAS 64742-33-2) and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment of fossil/synthetic waxes (which includes ozokerite) concluded these waxes are safe in current cosmetic uses. No peer‑reviewed human or animal reproductive/toxicology studies indicating teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity were identified in the literature search. Sources: CIR safety assessment; absence of harmonised CLP listing on ECHA C&L database search results; no reproductive studies found on PubMed.
- Is ozokerite safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence was found that ozokerite causes reproductive/hormonal effects or transfers into breastmilk; it is a largely inert, high‑molecular‑weight hydrocarbon wax used as a topical cosmetic wax. CIR concluded cosmetic grades are safe for topical use; no data indicating systemic bioavailability or lactation transfer were identified.
- Is ozokerite safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific hazards or reproductive mechanism data located. Exposure: ozokerite is a largely insoluble, high‑molecular‑weight hydrocarbon wax with negligible dermal absorption in adults per safety summaries, but because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, a small increase in exposure rating (+1) is applied for baby skin (0–3 yr). CIR treatment as safe for topical use supports low absorption under normal use.
