Frequently asked questions
- Is simmondsia chinensis butter safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no CIR or SCCS findings indicating reproductive toxicity for jojoba derivatives; ingredient is a long-chain ester/complex lipid with low systemic toxicity and low dermal absorption expected for topical cosmetic use (sources: CIR, ECHA/CosIng, PubChem).
- Is simmondsia chinensis butter safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity; topical use of jojoba-derived ingredients is generally considered safe and not associated with systemic reproductive effects (sources: CIR safety assessment, CosIng, PubChem).
- Is simmondsia chinensis butter safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or endocrine activity in available regulatory/peer-reviewed sources (h=0,m=0). Exposure: increase by +1 for infants because skin barrier immaturity can increase percutaneous uptake of lipophilic cosmetic ingredients; although jojoba butter is poorly absorbed, infant exposure is likely low but measurable (e=1) (sources: CosIng, PubChem, ECHA registration dossiers, general percutaneous absorption principles).
