Frequently asked questions
- Is psidium guajava leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive or developmental classification is listed for Psidium guajava leaf extract (no ECHA Annex VI classification), no SCCS/CIR safety assessment raising reproductive concerns was identified, and peer‑reviewed literature does not report teratogenic or reproductive toxicity for the cosmetic use of guava leaf extract. Therefore default hazard/mechanism scores are used and topical absorption is expected to be negligible for adults.
- Is psidium guajava leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of systemic reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity, no harmonised labelling (ECHA Annex VI) or regulatory contraindication for use during breastfeeding was identified; topical cosmetic use is unlikely to produce substantial systemic levels that would expose breastmilk.
- Is psidium guajava leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive/safety signals were found. Although there is no evidence of developmental hazard, infants have immature skin barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight — therefore exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults to reflect a low but measurable potential for dermal uptake of plant polyphenols in extracts.
