Frequently asked questions
- Is spinacia oleracea leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety opinion indicating reproductive hazard for Spinacia oleracea (spinach) leaf extract; PubMed/CosIng/PubChem entries do not identify teratogenic or reproductive toxicity data. Typical CIR-style default is 'safe as used' for such botanical extracts absent contrary data.
- Is spinacia oleracea leaf extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from authoritative sources (ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng, PubMed) of reproductive or lactation-specific toxicity or known transfer into breast milk for spinach leaf extract; no mechanistic data suggesting risk.
- Is spinacia oleracea leaf extract safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism evidence for reproductive/developmental effects in authoritative sources. Dermal absorption for a complex aqueous/ethanolic plant extract is expected to be low in adults (so scored 0), but per guidance infant skin has higher permeability so exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr olds. No infant-specific toxicity data found.
