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.
