Frequently asked questions

Is inula helenium extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive toxicity for Inula helenium extract. Available ingredient databases (PubChem, CosIng) and the published literature do not provide convincing animal or human reproductive toxicity data for the extract; therefore default no-hazard is applied.
Is inula helenium extract safe while breastfeeding?
No data documenting transfer into breastmilk or breastfeeding-specific adverse effects were identified in regulatory listings or peer-reviewed literature. No harmonised or expert-body flags exist for lactation risk (ECHA/CosIng/PubChem).
Is inula helenium extract safe for baby skin?
No evidence of reproductive or developmental hazard in regulatory sources; however, topical botanical extracts can be percutaneously absorbed to some extent. Adult exposure scored e=0 by default; for infant (0–3 yr) skin the exposure score is increased by +1 to e=1 to account for the immature skin barrier and higher surface-area-to-weight ratio (consistent with the scoring rules). No infant-specific hazard or mechanistic data were found.
