Frequently asked questions
- Is punica granatum extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR safety contraindication found; peer-reviewed studies report in vitro estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activities for some pomegranate polyphenols but no consistent in vivo reproductive toxicity, so overall no confirmed reproductive hazard but a theoretical mechanistic concern (in vitro estrogenic activity). Topical cosmetic use leads to low but measurable exposure rather than negligible systemic dosing.
- Is punica granatum extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of human lactation/infant harm or harmonised reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI); in vitro estrogenic activity provides a theoretical mechanism but no demonstrated transfer into milk or adverse effects in breastfed infants. Topical use implies low systemic exposure.
- Is punica granatum extract safe for baby skin?
- No specific data showing developmental toxicity in infants; theoretical mechanistic concern remains based on in vitro endocrine activity of pomegranate constituents. Because infant skin has higher absorption, exposure score increased by +1 (low measurable in adults → moderate for 0–3 yr).
