Frequently asked questions

Is perilla frutescens extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction found for Perilla frutescens extract; peer‑reviewed literature reports antioxidant/anti‑inflammatory phytochemicals (e.g., rosmarinic acid) but no controlled animal or human developmental/reproductive toxicity indicating teratogenicity or fertility effects (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng). Thus default score 0. Sources reviewed did not indicate H360/H361 or equivalent.
Is perilla frutescens extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence in the regulatory databases or peer‑reviewed literature of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or confirmed mechanisms that would indicate transfer into breast milk or adverse effects on nursing infants. No harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS warning found.
Is perilla frutescens extract safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazard data identified (h=0,m=0). Exposure: increased to 1 because topical application to infants (0–3 yr) carries higher per‑kg exposure and less mature barrier — while Perilla extract is not demonstrated non‑absorbable, no data indicates high dermal systemic uptake.
