Frequently asked questions

Is alkanna tinctoria root extract safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found. There is no authoritative classification or safety opinion (SCCS/CIR/ECHA Annex VI) identifying a hazard to infants. Because there is no documented measurable systemic absorption from typical topical cosmetic use, the exposure score for baby skin is not increased. Note: isolated constituents (alkannin/shikonin) have in vitro biological activity, but infant‑specific absorption or toxicity data are lacking.
