Question 1

Is (angelica gigas/glycyrrhiza uralensis/rehmannia glutinosa root)/angelica gigas stem/carthamus tinctorius flower/(carthamus tinctorius/prunus persica seed)poria cocos water safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications or SCCS/CIR safety restrictions were identified for this multi‑botanical extract as used in cosmetics. Individual botanicals (e.g., Glycyrrhiza/licorice) have oral reproductive/neurological signals in some epidemiology/toxicology literature, but there is no authoritative regulatory classification for topical cosmetic use; systemic exposure from topical application is expected to be low but measurable. Sources checked: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised reproductive flags), CIR/SCCS (no safety bans found), PubMed (oral licorice signals noted in literature), CosIng/ECHA/PubChem entries for constituent plants.

Question 2

Is (angelica gigas/glycyrrhiza uralensis/rehmannia glutinosa root)/angelica gigas stem/carthamus tinctorius flower/(carthamus tinctorius/prunus persica seed)poria cocos water safe while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

No regulatory or authoritative safety assessments identify this ingredient as a lactation/breastfeeding hazard. Systemic transfer into breastmilk would depend on absorption of constituent actives; topical use is expected to give low but measurable maternal exposure, so breastfeeding exposure is considered low.

Question 3

Is (angelica gigas/glycyrrhiza uralensis/rehmannia glutinosa root)/angelica gigas stem/carthamus tinctorius flower/(carthamus tinctorius/prunus persica seed)poria cocos water safe for baby skin?

Accepted Answer

No evidence specific to infants (0–3 yr) indicates developmental or dermal reproductive hazard. Because infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by one relative to adults (measurable absorption in adults → moderate exposure in infants). No harmonised classifications or SCCS/CIR contraindications for infant topical use of these botanicals were identified.

Question 4
