Frequently asked questions
- Is althaea officinalis root safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive or teratogenic hazard for Althaea officinalis root/extract. Traditional use and available safety information (cosmetic ingredient listings) indicate topical use with no evidence of reproductive toxicity in the literature reviewed.
- Is althaea officinalis root safe while breastfeeding?
- No data or regulatory classification indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazard; no evidence of systemic toxicity or milk transfer reported in available cosmetic/regulatory sources.
- Is althaea officinalis root safe for baby skin?
- No hazard or mechanism data indicating developmental or reproductive effects. Topical Althaea officinalis root/extract is composed largely of high-molecular-weight mucilaginous polysaccharides (low permeation), so adult dermal absorption is negligible; however, because infant skin has higher permeability, a small increase in exposure potential is conservatively assigned (e=1) despite absence of infant-specific adverse data.
