Frequently asked questions
- Is vetiveria zizanoides root extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification for reproductive toxicity on ECHA Annex VI and no SCCS/CIR reproductive safety restriction found. PubChem/CosIng list the ingredient as a cosmetic/ fragrance material with no reported reproductive hazard; peer‑reviewed reproductive toxicity data are lacking, so default ‘no evidence’ applies.
- Is vetiveria zizanoides root extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory flags indicating reproductive or lactation hazards (no H360/H361 on ECHA Annex VI, no CIR or SCCS contraindication). Typical cosmetic topical use and lack of evidence of systemic reproductive toxicity support no specific breastfeeding restriction.
- Is vetiveria zizanoides root extract safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism evidence for reproductive/ developmental toxicity. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin relative to adults because this is a botanical extract (not completely non‑absorbable) used topically and infants have a higher surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio and immature barrier, making low but measurable absorption plausible.
