Frequently asked questions
- Is sea water extract safe during pregnancy?
- Sea water (a complex mixture of inorganic salts/minerals) has no harmonised CLP reproductive classification and there are no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety findings indicating hazard; peer‑reviewed literature does not identify teratogenic effects from topical cosmetic use (CosIng lists sea water as a cosmetic ingredient; ECHA Annex VI contains no reproductive classification). Topical exposure to seawater constituents from cosmetics is not expected to give significant systemic reproductive exposure.
- Is sea water extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from SCCS/CIR or peer‑reviewed literature that topical sea water causes reproductive or lactation toxicity or transfers to breast milk; no harmonised CLP flags. Systemic uptake from cosmetic topical use is expected to be negligible.
- Is sea water extract safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no data indicating reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants (no SCCS/CIR concerns). Exposure: assigned +1 because although adult dermal systemic absorption is negligible, infants have a less mature barrier and higher surface‑area:weight so minimal ions/solutes may be more bioavailable than in adults; nevertheless no evidence of adverse effects from topical cosmetic use of sea water.
