Frequently asked questions

Is ribes nigrum seed oil safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags were identified for ribes nigrum seed oil; published information describes it as a plant-derived vegetable oil (rich in fatty acids) with no specific reproductive toxicity signals (Sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised classification; PubChem/CosIng entries list composition as fatty acids; PubMed search yields no human teratogenic or reproductive-safety reports). Topical absorption of vegetable oils is low but measurable, so assign low exposure for pregnant users.
Is ribes nigrum seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or endocrine activity in available sources. As for pregnancy, topical cosmetic use of a vegetable oil gives low but measurable systemic exposure; no data indicating transfer into breastmilk or harm to nursing infants (Sources: PubChem, CosIng, lack of CIR/SCCS warnings).
Is ribes nigrum seed oil safe for baby skin?
No infant-specific hazard data found. Mechanistic concerns absent. Because infant skin (0–3 yr) has higher permeability and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). Blackcurrant seed oil is commonly used in baby/skin-care products and is primarily a blend of fatty acids without known skin-penetrating toxins.
