Frequently asked questions
- Is glycyrrhiza glabra root extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for glycyrrhiza glabra root extract (no H360/H361 in ECHA Annex VI). CIR assessments and mainstream regulatory sources treat licorice root extract as safe for cosmetic topical use as formulated; reported reproductive/developmental concerns in the literature relate to oral consumption of glycyrrhizinic compounds rather than topical cosmetic use (see CIR, PubMed).
- Is glycyrrhiza glabra root extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No regulatory/authoritative classification indicating reproductive or lactation hazard. Systemic effects reported in the literature (mineralocorticoid-like effects from oral glycyrrhizin) are from ingestion; no authoritative body (ECHA Annex VI, CIR, SCCS) has harmonised a reproductive/lactation hazard for the cosmetic root extract.
- Is glycyrrhiza glabra root extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of a reproductive or developmental hazard specific to topical use in infants. Because cosmetic topical application can lead to low but measurable dermal exposure and infant skin has higher absorption potential, exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (adult exposure judged negligible for typical cosmetic use). There are no infant-specific adverse data from authoritative sources (CIR, ECHA Annex VI).
