Frequently asked questions
- Is houttuynia cordata flower/leaf/stem water safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (no H360/H361) and no SCCS or CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards. Literature (PubMed) does not report developmental/teratogenic effects for Houttuynia cordata hydrosol; ECHA entries are self-notifications only and do not indicate harmonised reproductive classification. Therefore default 'no evidence of reproductive hazard' applies.
- Is houttuynia cordata flower/leaf/stem water safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating mammary transfer or lactation-related toxicity; no regulatory or peer-reviewed reports flagging breastfeeding risk. Topical cosmetic use of an aqueous plant extract/hydrosol suggests negligible systemic exposure for lactating parent.
- Is houttuynia cordata flower/leaf/stem water safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of infant-specific reproductive/toxic effects. Adult hazard/mechanism default to 0. Because this is an aqueous plant extract (not completely non-absorbable) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr old, yielding low but measurable exposure.
