Frequently asked questions
- Is tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment specific to tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane was identified; peer-reviewed reviews of curcumin note limited and mixed reproductive data but do not establish human teratogenicity, and no specific developmental/teratology studies for topical tetrahydrocurcumin suitable to change the default. Topical use would likely give low but measurable systemic exposure. Sources: PubChem entry for tetrahydrocurcumin; ECHA registration/registration-dossier listing (no harmonised classification); reviews on curcumin and pregnancy. (PubChem; ECHA; PubMed).
- Is tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence found that tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is a known reproductive or lactation hazard and no harmonised or CIR/SCCS restrictions. Given topical application can lead to low systemic levels, breastfeeding exposure is plausibly low but measurable; no infant-specific data on excretion into milk was located. Sources cited below (ECHA registration listing, PubChem, curcumin pregnancy reviews).
- Is tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific toxicity data were located. Because infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and an immature barrier, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adult exposure (adult topical e=1 → infant e=2). No evidence found indicating specific developmental or dermatologic hazard to infants. Sources: PubChem, ECHA registration listing; reviews on curcumin safety.
