Frequently asked questions

Is zingiber officinale water safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety restriction for Zingiber officinale water. Peer‑reviewed literature on ginger indicates oral use for pregnancy nausea without consistent teratogenic findings; no credible evidence of reproductive toxicity for topical aqueous ginger preparations. Regulatory sources (ECHA Annex VI: no harmonised hazard; CIR: no safety concern/restriction for ginger water) support a default no‑hazard conclusion for pregnancy from topical cosmetic use.
Is zingiber officinale water safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazards from topical Zingiber officinale water. Oral ginger has been used for nausea in lactation with limited concern at typical doses; no data indicate relevant risk from topical cosmetic exposure and no harmonised classification exists.
Is zingiber officinale water safe for baby skin?
No evidence for reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infant skin. Dermal exposure from a cosmetic aqueous plant extract is expected to have low systemic absorption in adults (e=0), but infant/0–3 yr skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 for baby skin. No infant‑specific hazard or mechanism data were found to raise h or m.
