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.
