Frequently asked questions
- Is fructan safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety flags found for fructans/inulin used cosmetically; no peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or teratogenic effects from topical use. Cosmetic databases (CosIng) and chemical summaries (PubChem) list fructans/inulin as cosmetic ingredients and generally as low‑toxicity food ingredients, supporting a default no‑hazard conclusion.
- Is fructan safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating systemic maternal toxicity or lactation transfer after topical use; fructans are large hydrophilic polymers with negligible dermal absorption expected, and no regulatory reproductive/lactation warnings (no harmonised CLP classifications or CIR/SCCS concerns).
- Is fructan safe for baby skin?
- Fructans/inulin are high‑molecular‑weight hydrophilic polysaccharides with negligible dermal penetration in adults and are not flagged as reproductive/toxicants. Although infant skin has higher permeability, available information does not indicate measurable systemic absorption from topical cosmetic use; therefore exposure is considered negligible for infant topical use absent specific data.
