Frequently asked questions
- Is paullinia cupana fruit extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for Paullinia cupana fruit extract (no ECHA Annex VI listing). No CIR or SCCS safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards for topical use. Systemic reproductive concerns reported in the literature relate to oral caffeine intake, not topical cosmetic use; topical exposure is expected to give negligible systemic absorption in adults (sources: ECHA Annex VI absence, CosIng listing, PubChem/Chemical summaries, PubMed literature on oral caffeine).
- Is paullinia cupana fruit extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No authoritative cosmetic-safety assessments (CIR/SCCS/ECHA Annex VI) indicating lactation-specific hazard. Known lactation concern is oral maternal caffeine ingestion (PubMed), but topical cosmetic use of guarana/fruit extract is expected to result in negligible systemic exposure in breastfeeding mothers.
- Is paullinia cupana fruit extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard for the extract in cosmetics. Because baby skin (0–3 y) has a higher surface-area-to-body-weight and less mature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults to reflect potentially greater, though still likely low, percutaneous uptake of constituents (e.g., caffeine) from topical products. No infant-specific studies were identified.
