Frequently asked questions
- Is cordyceps sinensis extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI), no SCCS or CIR safety assessment addressing reproductive hazards, and no high-quality human teratogenicity evidence in the reviewed literature. Traditional medicinal use and in vitro/animal pharmacology studies exist for Cordyceps spp. but do not provide consistent evidence of reproductive teratogenicity that would trigger H360/H361-level concern.
- Is cordyceps sinensis extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No regulatory classification or authoritative safety assessment indicating reproductive or lactation-specific hazards; no robust data showing systemic accumulation or transfer in milk from topical cosmetic use. Without evidence of systemic maternal exposure from cosmetic application, breastfeeding risk is not identified.
- Is cordyceps sinensis extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of intrinsic reproductive mechanism or harmonised hazard for infant effects. Dermal exposure for infants may be modestly higher due to immature barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 versus adult (adult e scored 0). Specific dermal absorption data for Cordyceps sinensis extract are lacking.
