Question 1

Is (codonopsis tangshen/dioscorea japonica) root/atractylodes japonica rhizome/poria cocos/(dolichos lablab/coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen/euryale ferox/nelumbo nucifera) seed extract safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No harmonised reproductive classifications found (ECHA Annex VI) and no SCCS/CIR safety opinions specific to this multi‑plant extract; literature shows presence of diosgenin in Dioscorea species (not a harmonised teratogen) but no convincing animal/human reproductive hazard data, so hazard and mechanism default to 0. Low but measurable dermal exposure is plausible for cosmetic topical use given complex small‑molecule constituents (PubChem/CosIng entries for component plants indicate typical plant phytochemicals).

Question 2

Is (codonopsis tangshen/dioscorea japonica) root/atractylodes japonica rhizome/poria cocos/(dolichos lablab/coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen/euryale ferox/nelumbo nucifera) seed extract safe while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Same rationale as pregnancy: no regulatory harmonised flags or authoritative safety assessments indicating reproductive/lactation risk. Dermal absorption from topical use may be low but non‑zero, so exposure considered low; no data showing transfer into breast milk.

Question 3

Is (codonopsis tangshen/dioscorea japonica) root/atractylodes japonica rhizome/poria cocos/(dolichos lablab/coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen/euryale ferox/nelumbo nucifera) seed extract safe for baby skin?

Accepted Answer

No evidence of infant‑specific reproductive toxicity. Per instruction, increase exposure score by +1 for infants because skin barrier immaturity can raise per‑kg absorption; thus exposure considered moderate (adult 1 → infant 2). No data justify increasing hazard or mechanism scores for infants.

Question 4
