Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

pH adjuster and buffer used to stabilise formulations. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

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.

Betaine is a humectant/osmolyte used to support hydration and reduce irritation potential in formulas; it is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks in topical cosmetic use.

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

A Japanese elm root extract used as a skin-conditioning botanical. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Direct ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were not identified, so this assessment does not extend to oral supplements or medicinal use.

Kudzu root extract is a botanical skin-conditioning ingredient that may contain isoflavones including puerarin, daidzin and daidzein. Oral supplement exposure is not equivalent to the small amount used topically in a finished cosmetic. No evidence establishing a pregnancy or breastfeeding hazard from normal topical cosmetic use was identified.

A longleaf-pine leaf extract used for skin conditioning and fragrance. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Direct ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were not identified, so this assessment does not extend to oral supplements or medicinal use.

An evening-primrose flower extract used for skin conditioning. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Direct ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were not identified, so this assessment does not extend to oral supplements or medicinal use.

Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract is used as an antioxidant botanical; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks, though rare sensitivities are possible.

A botanical extract or plant water used for conditioning, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of this exact cosmetic material were not identified, but no reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure. Oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.

A purslane extract used mainly for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Portulaca oleracea extract is safe in current cosmetic practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. Botanical irritation or allergy remains possible, but no pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical use.

Botanical skin-conditioning ingredient used in soothing and barrier-support formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-sensitising, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

A triterpene glycoside associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical madecassoside is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but noted that madecassoside and related triterpenes may contribute to sensitisation, so products should be formulated to avoid sensitising concentrations. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

A triterpene associated with Centella asiatica and used in skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical asiatic acid is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but identified asiatic acid and related constituents as potential contributors to sensitisation. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

A triterpene glycoside associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical asiaticoside is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but noted that asiaticoside and related triterpenes may contribute to sensitisation. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

A triterpene associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical madecassic acid is limited. Evidence for the related Centella ingredient family supports current cosmetic exposure when products are formulated to avoid sensitisation; no pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.
