Anua Heartleaf 70 Intense Calming Cream

Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

A lightweight fatty ether used as an emollient and spreading agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dicaprylyl ether is safe in current cosmetic use; reviewed developmental testing did not identify maternal or fetal toxicity and skin absorption was low. Safety for airbrush delivery was not established.

Common emollient derived from fatty acids and glycerin. Used to soften skin and improve texture without pregnancy-specific concerns.

A large hydrogenated hydrocarbon polymer used as an emollient and texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed hydrogenated poly(C6-14 olefin) with cosmetic polyenes and concluded that the group is safe in current practices of use and concentration. Dermal absorption is expected to be limited by molecular size.

Synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used to improve slip, cushion and moisture feel. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

Self-emulsifying form of glyceryl stearate used to stabilize creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified.

Emollient ester/emulsifier used to improve skin feel and stabilise emulsions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

Olive-derived sorbitan ester used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic safety references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is used for soothing and barrier support and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Hydrogenated emulsifier used to support skin barrier feel. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Dipropylene glycol is used as a solvent and carrier in cosmetics; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Long-chain fatty alcohol used as an emollient and thickener. This is not the same concern profile as simple drying alcohols; reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use.

Polymer thickener used to stabilise emulsions. Large-molecule ingredient with low systemic absorption.

Sugar-based emulsifier used to stabilise creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

Skin-conditioning lipid used in barrier-support formulas, often alongside ceramides and fatty acids. Normal topical cosmetic use has no known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

Natural polysaccharide thickener used for stability and texture. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Skin-conditioning ingredient commonly used in leave-on skincare. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Skin-identical barrier lipid used to support the stratum corneum and reduce dryness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Simple sugar used as a humectant and skin-conditioning support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.
