FAQ

Why look for alternatives to pueraria lobata root extract?

Pueraria lobata root extract contains isoflavones (notably puerarin, daidzein, genistein) that show estrogenic activity in vitro and have produced reproductive/anti‑implantation effects in animal studies (rats). These animal reproductive findings justify a 'suspected' reproductive hazard (h=2) and indicate a demonstrated endocrine mechanism (m=2). Dermal exposure from cosmetics is expected to be low but measurable (e=1). Sources: Reproduction (puerarin disrupts pregnancy in rats) and in vitro estrogenic studies. (see sources).

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
