Frequently asked questions
- Is taraxacum officinale rhizome/root extract safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised CLP reproductive classification (ECHA Annex VI) or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety finding was identified for Taraxacum officinale rhizome/root extract. PubChem and cosmetic ingredient listings (CosIng) do not report reproductive/teratogenic effects; EWG rates dandelion extracts as low concern. Therefore no evidence of reproductive hazard or mechanism and exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be negligible.
- Is taraxacum officinale rhizome/root extract safe while breastfeeding?
- No data indicating reproductive or lactation-related toxicity or classification (no Harmonised CLP H360/H361). Regulatory and safety databases (PubChem, CosIng) and available summaries do not report effects on lactation or breastfed infants. Topical cosmetic use is not expected to give significant systemic exposure.
- Is taraxacum officinale rhizome/root extract safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental/infant-specific toxicity. Mechanistic data for reproductive/endocrine activity are lacking. Because this is a botanical extract (not an intrinsically non-absorbable polymer) and infant skin has higher permeability, exposure score is increased by +1 for 0–3 yr skin compared with adults, although no specific hazard data were found.
