Frequently asked questions

Is rhodiola rosea root extract safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classifications found (no H360/H361) and no authoritative safety assessments (CIR/SCCS) indicating reproductive hazard. Peer‑reviewed literature on Rhodiola rosea and major constituents (salidroside/rosavin) does not report clear teratogenicity or human reproductive effects, so hazard and mechanism are scored 0. Topical cosmetic use would be expected to result in low but measurable dermal exposure, so exposure scored 1 (low). Sources: ECHA Annex VI (no harmonised classification), PubMed (no reproductive hazard reports), PubChem/CosIng/ECHA dossiers (no regulatory reproductive flags).
Is rhodiola rosea root extract safe while breastfeeding?
Same rationale as pregnancy: no authoritative or peer‑reviewed evidence of reproductive or lactation toxicity; no harmonised CLP reproductive classification. Dermal topical use implies low measurable exposure; breastfeeding exposure via topical maternal use is likely low. Sources: PubMed, ECHA Annex VI, PubChem, CosIng.
Is rhodiola rosea root extract safe for baby skin?
No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity evidence was identified. Mechanistic concerns not demonstrated. Because infant skin has higher absorption and surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased: adult topical exposure judged low (1) so infant exposure increased by +1 to 2 (moderate). Sources: PubMed, CosIng, ECHA dossiers, EWG.
