Frequently asked questions
- Is inulin safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification for inulin (ECHA Annex VI). No peer‑reviewed evidence of developmental or reproductive toxicity for topical cosmetic use; inulin is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide/prebiotic with negligible dermal absorption expected (PubChem, CosIng, ECHA dossiers). CIR/SCCS have no flagged reproductive concerns for inulin in cosmetics.
- Is inulin safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard; topical use has negligible systemic availability and no data indicating transfer to breast milk. Oral dietary inulin (a fiber) is widely consumed without reported lactation toxicity (PubChem, ECHA dossiers, CosIng).
- Is inulin safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of reproductive/toxic hazard for infants. Mechanistic concerns absent. Dermal absorption in adults is negligible due to large polysaccharide size, but infant skin has higher permeability—so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult e=0 → infant e=1) as a conservative precaution (CosIng, PubChem, ECHA dossiers, EWG).
