Frequently asked questions

Is theobroma cacao fruit powder safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive hazard identified for Theobroma cacao fruit powder; no peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive toxicity specific to this cosmetic ingredient (sources: ECHA Annex VI absence, PubChem/CosIng entries, lack of CIR safety concerns for cocoa-derived cosmetic ingredients).
Is theobroma cacao fruit powder safe while breastfeeding?
No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazard and no harmonised classification. Typical topical cosmetic use of cocoa-derived powders is not associated with systemic exposures expected to affect breastfeeding (sources: PubChem, CosIng, absence of ECHA harmonised flags).
Is theobroma cacao fruit powder safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard for the ingredient. Topical cosmetic exposure in adults is expected to give negligible systemic uptake; however, because infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier function, a small increase in potential exposure is assigned for 0–3 yr (adult e=0; infant e increased to 1). No infant‑specific toxicity data were identified (sources: CosIng, PubChem, EWG listings; no ECHA harmonised classification).
