- Is ribes nigrum (black currant) bud wax safe during pregnancy?

Therefore default hazard/mechanism = 0 and exposure from topical cosmetic use is judged negligible.
- Is ribes nigrum (black currant) bud wax safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of maternal reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or systemic toxicity for Ribes nigrum (black currant) bud wax in regulatory sources or peer-reviewed literature; no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS concerns were found, so hazard/mechanism = 0 and topical exposure is considered negligible.
- Is ribes nigrum (black currant) bud wax safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or dermal toxicity data were identified. As a botanical wax (high molecular weight, lipophilic) there is no evidence of reproductive hazard (h=0) or a known reproductive mechanism (m=0). Absorption through very young infant skin may be higher than adult skin; therefore exposure score is increased to 1 (low but measurable) relative to adults.
