Frequently asked questions

Is perilla frutescens leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessments identifying reproductive hazard for Perilla frutescens leaf extract. Peer‑reviewed literature reports anti‑inflammatory/antioxidant activity but no consistent animal or human reproductive toxicity data; therefore default hazard and mechanism scores are 0. Sources checked: ECHA C&L records, PubChem, CosIng, CIR, PubMed show no reproductive classification or adverse pregnancy signals.
Is perilla frutescens leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
No specific data indicating transfer into breast milk or lactation-related toxicity. No regulatory reproductive/lactation flags in ECHA/CIR/SCCS or peer‑reviewed literature for the cosmetic ingredient; default scores applied.
Is perilla frutescens leaf extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard to infants. Topical dermal absorption of complex plant extracts is generally low, but infant skin has higher permeability; per the scoring rules, exposure score is increased by +1 for baby (from adult 0 to 1) to reflect higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and immature barrier. No infant‑specific toxicity data found to change hazard/mechanism scores.
