MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist as Low risk (79/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
The recorded formula includes 4 ingredient entries with risk flags: diphenyl dimethicone (Low risk), diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone (Low risk), propylene glycol dibenzoate (Low risk), plus others listed in the breakdown. These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
74 of 75 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. 1 entry does not have all of those fields. Unmatched or unrated entries are marked Not assessed in grey; missing evidence does not establish safety.

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.

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.

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.
