Frequently asked questions

Is indigofera tinctoria extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR safety assessment indicating reproductive hazard for Indigofera tinctoria extract was identified. Cosmetic databases (CosIng) and chemical databases (PubChem) list the extract as a botanical/colorant with no flagged reproductive toxicity; no peer‑reviewed studies showing teratogenic or reproductive effects were found in available literature. Therefore default 'no evidence' scoring is applied.
Is indigofera tinctoria extract safe while breastfeeding?
No data or regulatory classifications indicate breast‑feeding or lactation hazards; no mechanistic or animal/human evidence of transfer into milk or lactation‑specific effects was identified in regulatory/peer‑reviewed sources. Exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible.
Is indigofera tinctoria extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of developmental or pediatric toxicity was found; hazard and mechanism default to 0. Exposure score increased by +1 for infant skin because, while adult dermal absorption appears negligible for a botanical/colorant ingredient, infant skin has higher permeability and surface‑area‑to‑weight ratio, so measured absorption cannot be excluded for a plant extract used topically.
