Frequently asked questions
- Is poria cocos extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications (no H360/H361) found for Poria cocos extract. No SCCS or CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards and no peer‑reviewed pregnancy/reprotox studies located in PubMed; default 'no evidence of reproductive hazard' applies (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; PubMed; CosIng).
- Is poria cocos extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating mammary gland transfer or lactation effects; no regulatory flags or published reproductive/lactation studies were identified (ECHA Annex VI; PubChem; PubMed). Therefore treated as no evidence of hazard and negligible exposure for breastfeeding when used topically.
- Is poria cocos extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/infant toxicity or specific infant studies. Mechanistic data lacking. Dermal exposure for adults considered negligible for systemic reproductive hazard, but because this is a botanical extract (not an inherently non‑absorbable polymer) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score increased by +1 for 0–3 yr (CosIng; PubChem; general dermal absorption principles).
