Frequently asked questions
- Is urtica dioica (nettle) extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found for Urtica dioica (ECHA Annex VI) and there are no well‑established regulatory reproductive safety flags (no SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazard). Cosmetic databases (CosIng) and chemical records (PubChem) list the botanical extract but do not carry a harmonised reproductive hazard. Therefore default scoring is used (no evidence of reproductive hazard).
- Is urtica dioica (nettle) extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No regulatory or authoritative safety assessments (harmonised CLP, SCCS, CIR) indicate a lactation/breastfeeding hazard for Urtica dioica extract; available product/ingredient listings (CosIng, PubChem) and general consumer databases (EWG) do not identify confirmed breastfeeding risks.
- Is urtica dioica (nettle) extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic developmental or reproductive hazard. Dermal absorption from topical use of botanical extracts is generally low; however infant skin has higher surface‑area:weight and an immature barrier, so exposure score is raised by +1 for 0–3 yr skin despite lack of infant‑specific toxicity data (CosIng/PubChem list the extract; no SCCS/CIR infant guidance found).
