Frequently asked questions

Is pentaclethra macroloba seed oil safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns located. Cosmetic databases (CosIng/PubChem) list this material as a vegetable seed oil with no reproductive hazard entries. As a topical plant oil, systemic absorption is low but measurable for typical cosmetic use, so exposure scored as low (1). Sources: ECHA (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem.
Is pentaclethra macroloba seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
No data or regulatory flags for lactation transfer or reproductive toxicity (no harmonised CLP, no CIR or SCCS concerns). As with pregnancy, topical vegetable oils can be absorbed at low levels, so exposure scored as low (1). Sources: ECHA (no harmonised classification), CosIng, PubChem.
Is pentaclethra macroloba seed oil safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific safety or developmental toxicity data identified and no regulatory hazard classifications. Given measurable absorption in adults (low) and the increased per‑kg exposure and immature barrier of 0–3 yr skin, exposure score increased by +1 to moderate (2).
