Musk does not cause infertility, but it is contraindicated by pregnant women.
Muscone, the main component of musk, has the functions of promoting blood circulation, dredging menstruation, relieving pain and inducing labor. Because it is easy to cause abortion, it is forbidden for pregnant women, and it is also often used to induce labor for pregnant women with dystocia.
Musk is the dry secretion of the male gonad of musk deer. Because of its rich and lasting fragrance, it is used in perfume industry and is an expensive animal raw material. However, over-hunting makes musk deer face extinction. Therefore, through the legislation of 1979, musk deer was included in the list of protected animals, and natural musk was also prohibited from being used as perfume raw materials.
At present, most of the musk components contained in perfume are a series of synthetic spices with musk taste, whose function is to enhance fragrance and keep fragrance, so there is no need to be too alarmed. However, there are many chemical components in cosmetics such as perfume, so it is better for pregnant women to use less for the sake of fetal health.
