Frequently asked questions
- Is sclerocarya birrea seed oil safe during pregnancy?
- Sclerocarya birrea seed oil (marula oil) is a plant-derived triglyceride-rich cosmetic oil with no harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags; no published evidence of reproductive toxicity or endocrine activity was identified. Typical topical oils have low but measurable dermal absorption, so exposure is scored as low (e=1). Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed (no repro/toxicity signals), ECHA (no harmonised classification).
- Is sclerocarya birrea seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; no harmonised classification. Dermal exposure from topical use is expected to be low but measurable; transfer into breastmilk is not reported. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA (no harmonised classification), general literature on vegetable oils.
- Is sclerocarya birrea seed oil safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific hazards identified. Because young infant skin has higher absorption per body weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No data were found showing developmental or dermal-specific toxicity in infants. Sources: CosIng, PubChem, PubMed (no infant toxicity data found), EWG (no high hazard listing).
