Check the cleanser, not the format
An oil, balm, gel or foam can have a different recorded assessment from another product in the same format. Review the ingredient flags and any formulation-specific explanation rather than choosing by the cleanser name alone.
This selection groups recorded face cleansers and makeup removers, including cleansing oils and balms. Dedicated body washes, shampoos and wash-off masks are outside this pilot.
How MamaSkin assesses productsQuestions about cleansers in pregnancy
Are all face cleansers suitable during pregnancy?
No single pregnancy rating applies to all face cleansers. This selection includes different recorded risk bands and is not a list of universally suitable products. Open the exact cleanser for the ingredient evidence, limitations and any manual-review explanation.
Does rinsing a cleanser off automatically mean No known risks?
No. This page does not assign a new rating based on rinse-off use. Each cleanser keeps its recorded product assessment. Where formulation or use changes the interpretation of an ingredient flag, read the explanation on the individual product page.
Are cleansing oils, balms and micellar waters included?
Yes, when their recorded category is face cleansers or makeup removers. They appear alongside face washes for comparison, not because every cleansing format has the same assessment. Dedicated body washes and shampoos are not part of this selection.
What does Not assessed mean when comparing cleansers?
A grey Not assessed label means an ingredient has no matched rating in the published assessment. It is not defaulted to No known risks, and it does not establish that the ingredient is safe or unsafe. A product can retain a recorded score while some ingredients remain Not assessed; open its ingredient breakdown to see the gaps.
Does a high score guarantee a cleanser is suitable for me?
No. A recorded score is a screening result, not a percentage probability of safety or a guarantee. Read the risk band, ingredient evidence, coverage gaps and any review note. Formulas can vary by market or reformulation, so compare the recorded list with your packaging. These pregnancy-focused ratings do not by themselves establish breastfeeding suitability.
