Frequently asked questions

Is spilanthes acmella flower extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications in ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety opinion found; peer‑reviewed literature reports topical activity of spilanthol but no reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity studies identified, so default hazard/mechanism = 0. Topical use can result in low but measurable absorption (spilanthol is a small, lipophilic alkylamide), so exposure scored as 1. (Sources: ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised classification; PubChem/CosIng entries for Spilanthes acmella extract; PubMed literature on spilanthol topical pharmacology.)
Is spilanthes acmella flower extract safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no reproductive/lactation toxicity data or regulatory flags. Low but measurable topical absorption possible, so a low exposure score (possibility of systemic availability and therefore potential transfer into milk exists but is unproven). (Sources: ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; PubMed.)
Is spilanthes acmella flower extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or infant‑specific toxicity. Because infant skin has higher absorption (immature barrier and higher surface‑area‑to‑weight), increase exposure by +1 relative to adult (adult e=1 → infant e=2). No infant‑specific studies found. (Sources: PubMed general topical absorption literature; CosIng / PubChem listing of the extract; ECHA Annex VI — no harmonised classification.)
