Frequently asked questions

Is taraxacum officinale (dandelion) root safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards for Taraxacum officinale root/extracts. Peer‑reviewed literature and CosIng list it as a cosmetic botanical extract with no documented human teratogenicity or consistent reproductive toxicity data.
Is taraxacum officinale (dandelion) root safe while breastfeeding?
No authoritative sources (harmonised CLP, SCCS, CIR) or peer‑reviewed evidence indicate lactation/infant‑exposure reproductive hazards for dandelion root extract; no documented systemic developmental toxicity from cosmetic use.
Is taraxacum officinale (dandelion) root safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism: no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity specific to infants. Exposure: although adult topical absorption is expected to be negligible for a plant extract used in cosmetics, infant skin has higher permeability, so exposure score is increased by one relative to adults in absence of data to prove zero absorption (CosIng/PubChem list as topical extract without absorption data).
