Frequently asked questions

Is saccharomyces safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (no H360/H361) for Saccharomyces entries in ECHA Annex VI, no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of teratogenicity from topical use. Topical application (whole yeast, lysates or hydrolyzates commonly used in cosmetics) is not associated with systemic reproductive effects in the available literature and databases (ECHA Annex VI; PubMed; CIR).
Is saccharomyces safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence from regulatory databases or peer‑reviewed literature that topical Saccharomyces in cosmetics causes reproductive or lactation hazards or transfers to breastmilk at levels of concern. Breastfeeding concerns would mainly come from systemic exposure; topical cosmetic use shows negligible systemic uptake. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI; PubMed; PubChem; CIR).
Is saccharomyces safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating specific developmental or reproductive toxicity in infants. Exposure: infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so absorption from topical formulations is plausibly higher than adults; therefore exposure score increased by +1 relative to adult. No infant‑specific adverse data were found in the reviewed sources (CosIng; PubMed; ECHA; PubChem).
How does VeriMom score saccharomyces?
