Frequently asked questions
- Is urtica dioica safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found on ECHA for Urtica dioica (CAS 84012-40-8) and no SCCS or CIR safety assessment specific to reproductive toxicity for topical cosmetic use was identified; peer‑reviewed literature and EMA herbal assessments report limited toxicity and do not demonstrate teratogenicity for topical/external uses. Therefore default hazard/mechanism/exposure scores are 0. (See ECHA substance record and EMA assessment summary.)
- Is urtica dioica safe while breastfeeding?
- No authoritative cosmetic‑safety assessments (CIR/SCCS/harmonised CLP) indicate reproductive or lactation risk from topical Urtica dioica. PubMed/clinical literature report occasional systemic uses/oral traditional uses but do not provide evidence of breast‑milk transfer or adverse effects from cosmetic topical use, so scores remain 0.
- Is urtica dioica safe for baby skin?
- Hazard and mechanism remain 0 because no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data for topical Urtica dioica were found; exposure (e) is increased to 1 for baby skin because infant skin has a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and less mature barrier, and Urtica dioica extracts are not completely non‑absorbable. No studies showing high dermal absorption for cosmetic formulations were identified.
