Frequently asked questions
- Is zea mays kernel extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns identified for Zea mays kernel extract (corn kernel extract). Cosmetic databases (CosIng/PubChem) list it as a botanical extract/food-derived ingredient with no reproductive hazard flags, and there are no peer-reviewed reports of teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity specific to this extract.
- Is zea mays kernel extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazards, no harmonised classification, and no CIR/SCCS contraindication for use in cosmetics. As a largely high–molecular-weight botanical extract (proteins, polysaccharides, triglycerides), systemic absorption from typical topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible.
- Is zea mays kernel extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity. Mechanistic concerns are absent. Dermal absorption from adult topical use is negligible, but immature infant skin can increase per‑kg exposure; therefore exposure score is raised by one level for baby skin (0→1) to reflect higher relative absorption potential despite lack of hazard evidence.
