Ingredients

Ingredients with a higher risk flag appear first, followed by the rest of the formula.

Diphenyl Dimethicone

Low Risk

This ingredient is a silicone polymer documented within CIR's broader dimethicone and substituted-methicone family assessment. CIR concluded the reviewed ingredients safe as used when formulated to be non-irritating to skin and eyes. This is family-level cosmetic evidence, not ingredient-specific human pregnancy evidence for every derivative. MamaSkin therefore retains Low Risk without claiming negligible absorption for this individual ingredient.

Sources: CIR: Dimethicone and substituted-methicone polymer assessment https://cir-safety.org/supplementaldoc/safety-assessment-dimethicone-methicone-and-substituted-methicone-polymers-used-cosm

Sodium DNA

Low Risk

DNA-derived cosmetic ingredient/label term used in topical PDRN or polynucleotide-style skincare. Topical cosmetic use is not currently treated as a known pregnancy-restricted concern, but pregnancy-specific clinical data remain limited. MamaSkin scores this conservatively as low risk to reflect the evidence gap. This assessment applies to topical cosmetic products only and does not apply to injectable or in-clinic PDRN/polynucleotide treatments. Always review co-ingredients such as retinoids, hydroquinone, high-strength acids or other pregnancy-restricted actives separately.

Sources: Shin et al. 2025: Polynucleotide and PDRN dermatology review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40871045/

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone

Low Risk

A phenyl-substituted silicone used for shine, conditioning and film formation. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded it is safe in current cosmetic use but found insufficient evidence for products that may be incidentally inhaled. MamaSkin classifies it as low risk because of that route-specific evidence gap, not because of a known pregnancy-specific concern from ordinary topical use.

How to use this assessment

The risk band is the primary conclusion. The score adds detail within that band and should not be used to compare products as if a one-point difference were clinically meaningful.

MamaSkin provides pregnancy-focused information, not medical advice. Your midwife, GP, pharmacist or dermatologist should take priority when your circumstances differ from typical cosmetic use.
