Frequently asked questions

Is raffinose safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification in ECHA Annex VI, no CIR or SCCS safety concern documented for raffinose, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenic or reproductive toxicity. Raffinose is a large, highly hydrophilic trisaccharide with low likelihood of systemic exposure from cosmetic topical use (sources: ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; CIR/SCCS absence of concerns).
Is raffinose safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised CLP flags. Given very low expected systemic absorption after topical use, transfer into breast milk is unlikely (sources: ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; absence of adverse findings in literature/CIR/SCCS).
Is raffinose safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant-specific hazard. Mechanistic concerns absent. However, because raffinose is hydrophilic and not completely non‑absorbable and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 for infants (i.e., low but measurable potential exposure) (sources: PubChem physicochemical profile; ECHA Annex VI absence of reproductive classification; general toxicology principles on infant skin permeability).
How does VeriMom score raffinose?
