Frequently asked questions
- Is simmondsia chinensis seed extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive hazard classification (ECHA Annex VI) and no CIR/SCCS finding of reproductive risk for Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed extract/jojoba-derived materials; general safety assessments (CIR) conclude 'safe as used' for topical cosmetic use and peer-reviewed data do not indicate teratogenicity, so default low hazard and negligible exposure for normal cosmetic topical use.
- Is simmondsia chinensis seed extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity in available safety assessments (CIR) or regulatory listings; no harmonised classification or peer-reviewed data indicating transfer into breast milk or adverse effects on nursing infants from cosmetic topical use.
- Is simmondsia chinensis seed extract safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism: no infant-specific reproductive/toxic data indicating concern (CIR, no ECHA harmonised classification). Exposure: although adult topical exposure is considered negligible for safety scoring, infant skin has higher absorption potential; therefore exposure is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (resulting in low but measurable exposure).
