Frequently asked questions

Is ganoderma lucidum extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised reproductive classification listed (no entry in ECHA Annex VI for Ganoderma lucidum extract), no SCCS/CIR safety assessment flagging reproductive toxicity, and the published cosmetic/toxicology references treat Ganoderma lucidum extract as a botanical cosmetic ingredient without pregnancy-specific classification. PubMed literature reports pharmacological activities (anti‑inflammatory, immunomodulatory) but no consistent evidence of human teratogenicity or reproductive hazard at cosmetic topical exposures.
Is ganoderma lucidum extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence from authoritative sources (ECHA Annex VI, CIR, SCCS) indicating reproductive or lactation hazards. No reliable human data showing transfer into breast milk after topical cosmetic use. Cosmetic databases (CosIng/PubChem entries) list the extract without reproductive classifications.
Is ganoderma lucidum extract safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data found to indicate a hazard. Exposure: although adult dermal absorption for large polysaccharide components is likely negligible (adult e=0), extracts contain small amounts of triterpenes and other low‑MW components that are plausibly partially absorbable; given infants’ higher skin permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin compared with adult.
