Frequently asked questions
- Is santalum album safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restriction identified for Santalum album; available safety assessments and databases (CIR/PubChem/CosIng/EWG) do not report developmental/teratogenic effects. No credible animal or human reproductive toxicity data were identified that would raise concern, so default scoring is used.
- Is santalum album safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicating lactation transfer or breast‑feeding specific toxicity for Santalum album in cosmetic uses; no harmonised classifications or CIR/SCCS contraindications identified.
- Is santalum album safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive hazard, mechanism, or harmonised classification. However, topical absorption is possible for essential oils/sesquiterpenes at low measurable levels and infant skin has higher absorption potential, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 year skin compared with adults.
