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.
