Frequently asked questions

Is vaccinium myrtillus seed oil safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessments indicating reproductive/toxic effects for Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil; peer‑reviewed literature does not identify teratogenic or reproduction hazards. As a plant-derived fixed oil, topical absorption is low but measurable, so exposure is scored as low (e=1). Sources consulted: ECHA C&L (no harmonised classification), PubChem/CosIng, PubMed (no reproductive signals), CIR (no adverse findings).
Is vaccinium myrtillus seed oil safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity or endocrine activity in regulatory sources or the peer‑reviewed literature. Systemic uptake after topical use of a seed oil is low but measurable, so potential transfer into breast milk would be low (e=1) absent data showing higher bioavailability.
Is vaccinium myrtillus seed oil safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific toxicity or developmental effects reported. Because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 versus adults (adult e=1 → infant e=2), representing moderate but not high exposure from topical use of a lipophilic fixed oil.
