VeriMomIs wine extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restrictions found for 'wine extract' or generic Vitis/vine-derived cosmetic extracts. Botanical wine/grape extracts are generally assessed as safe for cosmetic topical use in the absence of specific toxicology findings (CosIng; CIR general approach). Constituents such as resveratrol have been studied for bioactivity, but available evidence does not establish a human reproductive hazard relevant to cosmetic topical use (PubMed). Topical use may give low but measurable dermal absorption depending on formulation, so exposure is scored as low (e=1).

Frequently asked questions
- Is wine extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive restrictions found for 'wine extract' or generic Vitis/vine-derived cosmetic extracts. Botanical wine/grape extracts are generally assessed as safe for cosmetic topical use in the absence of specific toxicology findings (CosIng; CIR general approach). Constituents such as resveratrol have been studied for bioactivity, but available evidence does not establish a human reproductive hazard relevant to cosmetic topical use (PubMed). Topical use may give low but measurable dermal absorption depending on formulation, so exposure is scored as low (e=1).
- Is wine extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of harmonised reproductive/lactation hazards (ECHA Annex VI) or CIR/SCCS contraindications for wine/grape extracts for topical cosmetics. No reliable human data show transfer to breastmilk after topical application; thus hazard and mechanism are scored 0 and exposure low (e=1).
- Is wine extract safe for baby skin?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were identified for 'wine extract'. Given measurable dermal absorption in adults (e=1) and the higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier in infants, exposure is increased by +1 for baby skin (e=2). There is no infant-specific evidence to change hazard or mechanism scores.
- How does VeriMom score wine extract?
