Frequently asked questions
- Is triticum vulgare starch safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification on ECHA Annex VI for triticum vulgare starch; no CIR or SCCS safety findings indicating reproductive hazard; PubChem/ECHA registration data do not report developmental or reproductive toxicity. Starch is an inert polysaccharide with no evidence of reproductive toxicity (CIR/CosIng/ECHA/PubChem).
- Is triticum vulgare starch safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-related hazards; topical starch is poorly absorbed and not expected to reach breast milk. Regulatory sources (ECHA, PubChem, CosIng) list no reproductive/lactation concerns.
- Is triticum vulgare starch safe for baby skin?
- Hazard/mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: per guidance, increase exposure score by +1 for infants when adult absorption is negligible but not zero—starch is poorly absorbed topically but infant skin barrier immaturity could increase local/residual exposure. Allergic contact risk from residual wheat proteins is a separate skin sensitisation issue, not a reproductive mechanism.
