Frequently asked questions
- Is riboflavin safe during pregnancy?
- Riboflavin (vitamin B2, CAS 83-88-5) has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and no credible evidence of reproductive or teratogenic hazard in the regulatory literature. It is an essential nutrient with safety profiles in humans and animals; topical cosmetic use is not associated with reproductive toxicity (ECHA Annex VI: no harmonised classification; CIR/PubChem summaries show no reproductive hazard).
- Is riboflavin safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicate reproductive/breastfeeding hazards from topical riboflavin. Riboflavin is secreted into breast milk after systemic ingestion, but topical cosmetic exposure is expected to give negligible systemic exposure; no regulatory or peer-reviewed sources identify breastfeeding risk from topical use (PubChem; PubMed nutritional literature; ECHA Annex VI).
- Is riboflavin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity from riboflavin via topical routes. Dermal absorption of riboflavin is expected to be very low (water‑soluble vitamin), so adult exposure scored as negligible; per instructions, infant exposure is increased by +1 due to immature skin barrier/greater surface-area-to-weight, giving a low but measurable exposure for 0–3 yr. No infant-specific hazard or mechanism identified.
