Safety of Chili Extract Lotion for Pregnant Women and Children

# Information about Chili Hot™ and Chili Warm™ Extracts

Based on the information available for Chili Hot™ (Vanillyl Butyl Ether) and Chili Warm™ (HYDROXYMETHOXYBENZYL PELARGONAMIDE), these ingredients are designed to provide a warming or heating sensation when applied to the skin and are approved for use in cosmetics within specified concentrations.

However, the product descriptions do not contain specific safety data or recommendations regarding their use for pregnant women or children.

Ingredients that cause a significant sensory effect like warming or heating can potentially cause unpredictable or intense reactions on sensitive skin. The skin of pregnant women can sometimes be more sensitive, and the skin of infants and young children is generally thinner and more permeable than adult skin, making them more susceptible to irritation or discomfort.

Therefore, without specific safety studies or guidelines for these populations, it is generally recommended to avoid using products containing Chili Hot™ or Chili Warm™ on pregnant women and young children as a precautionary measure. There is no specified minimum age for children's use mentioned in the product information.
