Frequently asked questions
- Is sambucus nigra fruit juice safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags were identified for Sambucus nigra fruit juice. Peer‑reviewed literature does not identify human teratogenicity or consistent reproductive toxicity for elderberry fruit preparations; thus default 'no evidence of reproductive hazard' applies. Sources consulted: ECHA C&L (no harmonised H360/H361), PubMed (no confirmed reproductive toxicity studies), PubChem/CosIng (no reproductive classification).
- Is sambucus nigra fruit juice safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mechanistic data indicating transfer into breast milk from topical cosmetic use. No harmonised classification or CIR/SCCS warnings were found for use in cosmetics; therefore default no‑hazard scoring is used.
- Is sambucus nigra fruit juice safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive/toxicology data found and no harmonised flags, so h/m = 0. Exposure: increased topical absorption potential for infants warrants a conservative increase to e=1 (low but measurable) compared with adults because elderberry fruit juice contains water‑soluble anthocyanins/molecules that are not completely non‑absorbable.
