Frequently asked questions

Is inonotus obliquus extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification found (ECHA Annex VI) and no regulatory safety assessment (CIR/SCCS) indicating reproductive hazard. Peer‑reviewed literature on Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) focuses on antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory and anticancer activities, with no controlled animal or human reproductive/developmental toxicity data identified in the sources searched (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng, ECHA). Therefore default score applies.
Is inonotus obliquus extract safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence from regulatory sources (ECHA Annex VI), CIR/SCCS, or peer‑reviewed studies indicating effects on lactation or breastfed infants. No known mechanism for transfer into milk has been reported in the sources searched (PubMed, PubChem, CosIng). Default no‑hazard score applied.
Is inonotus obliquus extract safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental hazards identified (h=0, m=0). For exposure, adult topical dermal systemic absorption is expected to be negligible for a crude mushroom extract (large polysaccharides and complex constituents) and no data indicate high percutaneous absorption; however, infant skin has higher permeability, so exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin contact (adult e=0 → baby e=1). No infant‑specific toxicokinetic data were found.
