Frequently asked questions
- Is superoxide dismutase safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for superoxide dismutase (no ECHA Annex VI H360/H361 entries). SOD is a high‑molecular‑weight enzyme with no evidence in the literature or regulatory assessments of reproductive toxicity from topical cosmetic use (PubChem/CosIng; PubMed topical studies report local antioxidant effects with minimal systemic exposure). CIR and SCCS have no adverse reproductive findings for cosmetic topical enzyme use.
- Is superoxide dismutase safe while breastfeeding?
- No regulatory or peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or lactation hazard; enzyme nature and lack of harmonised classification indicate no known risk to breastfeeding mothers from topical cosmetic use (sources: ECHA Annex VI absence, PubChem, CosIng).
- Is superoxide dismutase safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or reproductive hazard in regulators or literature. Adult topical dermal absorption is expected to be negligible for a large protein enzyme, but infant skin has higher permeability — so exposure is increased relative to adults (scored +1 for exposure per guidance). No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified.
