Frequently asked questions

Is raspberry ketone safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised classification for reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR or SCCS safety assessment identifying reproductive hazard. PubChem and ECHA registration dossiers list toxicology data but do not indicate confirmed reproductive effects; peer‑reviewed literature shows no clear in vivo developmental/teratogenic signal at relevant cosmetic exposures. Dermal absorption is plausible (low but measurable) based on physicochemical properties (small MW, moderate logP), so exposure is non‑negligible for topical use (sources: ECHA registration dossiers, PubChem, PubMed).
Is raspberry ketone safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in regulatory dossiers or the literature; no harmonised H361/H360 flags. Given low but measurable dermal absorption and potential for systemic availability, minimal maternal exposure could theoretically lead to transfer into milk, but no data document this for raspberry ketone (sources: ECHA registration dossiers, PubMed, PubChem).
Is raspberry ketone safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data and no regulatory reproductive classification. Because raspberry ketone is a small, moderately lipophilic molecule with measurable dermal absorption in adults, exposure via application to infant skin is expected to be higher (immature barrier, higher surface area‑to‑weight); therefore exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (sources: PubChem, ECHA registration dossiers, CosIng, EWG summaries).
How does VeriMom score raspberry ketone?
VeriMom scores raspberry ketone at 93/100 (no known risks) based on EU CosIng status, ECHA hazard classifications, and peer-reviewed PubMed studies. Our scoring pipeline is fully transparent.
