Question 1

Is (lepidium meyenii/sarcodon aspratus) root water safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR safety assessment specific to this ingredient, and no reliable peer‑reviewed evidence of human teratogenicity or reproductive toxicity for the named components in a cosmetic root‑water extract. PubMed literature on Lepidium meyenii (maca) shows limited reproductive/fertility studies but not evidence of human teratogenicity; Sarcodon aspratus has very limited toxicology data. Regulatory databases (CosIng, ECHA registration listings, PubChem) do not list reproductive hazard classifications.

Question 2

Is (lepidium meyenii/sarcodon aspratus) root water safe while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

No harmonised or authoritative safety flags for lactation exposure (no ECHA Annex VI, SCCS or CIR contraindication). There is no specific evidence of mammary transfer or lactation-related toxicity for a Lepidium meyenii or Sarcodon aspratus root water extract in available regulatory summaries or peer‑reviewed literature.

Question 3

Is (lepidium meyenii/sarcodon aspratus) root water safe for baby skin?

Accepted Answer

No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard for the ingredient itself (h/m 0). For exposure, topical root‑water extracts are not completely non‑absorbable; infant skin has higher uptake — therefore exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin (adult exposure considered negligible but infant absorption potential is higher). No infant‑specific adverse reports located in regulatory sources or PubMed.

Question 4

How does VeriMom score (lepidium meyenii/sarcodon aspratus) root water?
