Frequently asked questions
- Is secale cereale seed extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive hazard for Secale cereale (rye) seed extract. Searches of PubMed and cosmetic databases (CosIng, PubChem) show no documented teratogenic or reproductive effects for the ingredient; therefore default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are used.
- Is secale cereale seed extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence in authoritative sources (ECHA Annex VI, SCCS, CIR or peer-reviewed literature) of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or mammary transfer. Ingredient is used in cosmetics without specific breastfeeding warnings (CosIng/PubChem).
- Is secale cereale seed extract safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism evidence for developmental or reproductive toxicity. For exposure, infant skin has higher permeability; although there are no data showing high dermal absorption, exposure score is increased by one step for babies (per scoring rules) because Secale cereale seed extract is a botanical extract that is not known to be completely non‑absorbable.
