Frequently asked questions

Is stevia rebaudiana leaf/stem extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety opinion indicates reproductive hazard for Stevia rebaudiana leaf/stem extract; topical cosmetic use is not associated with systemic reproductive toxicity in available regulatory sources (CosIng, PubChem) and no human teratogenic signal is reported in the literature surveyed.
Is stevia rebaudiana leaf/stem extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence from authoritative sources (ECHA/Annex VI, CIR/SCCS) or peer-reviewed literature indicating the extract is a reproductive/lactation hazard or transfers into breast milk after topical use; systemic exposure from cosmetics is expected to be negligible.
Is stevia rebaudiana leaf/stem extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard specific to infants. Adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible (regulatory sources do not identify systemic toxicity), but infant skin has higher permeability — therefore exposure score increased by +1 (to 1) to reflect higher potential per the scoring rules.
