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.
