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.
