Frequently asked questions
- Is tamarindus indica seed gum safe during pregnancy?
- Tamarindus indica seed gum is a high‑molecular‑weight natural polysaccharide (tamarind seed gum) used as a thickener/film‑former in topical cosmetics. No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI), no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive hazard, and no peer‑reviewed evidence of developmental/reproductive toxicity were identified, so default hazard/mechanism are 0. Dermal/systemic absorption is expected to be negligible for a large polysaccharide, so exposure is scored 0 for topical use.
- Is tamarindus indica seed gum safe while breastfeeding?
- Same rationale as pregnancy: no evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity and no harmonised classification; high molecular weight and low likelihood of systemic absorption from topical application make transfer into breastmilk unlikely, so hazard and mechanism remain 0 and exposure 0.
- Is tamarindus indica seed gum safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific reproductive/toxicity data were identified. As a large polysaccharide the ingredient is not expected to be systemically absorbed, so hazard and mechanism are 0. Per instruction, infant skin has increased permeability, so exposure is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → baby e=1) though overall systemic exposure remains expectedly low; typical uses are leave‑on/thickeners with low bioavailability.
