No pregnancy-specific topical signal was identified.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is widely used for barrier support and tone/texture benefits, and is generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding when used topically at cosmetic concentrations.

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.

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 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 fruit, seed or food-plant extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. No pregnancy-specific signal was identified for the low topical exposure expected from a finished cosmetic. Direct pregnancy studies are generally unavailable, and botanical allergy remains possible.

A tea-tree leaf extract used for skin conditioning and antimicrobial support. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Melaleuca alternifolia-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. This leaf extract is distinct from concentrated tea-tree essential oil, although botanical allergy remains possible.

The 2025 final CIR assessment explicitly lists the exact identity among the 12 Nelumbo nucifera-derived ingredients concluded safe in current cosmetic practices and concentrations.

A botanical extract, juice or water used primarily for skin conditioning, moisturising, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of the named cosmetic material were not identified. No reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure to a compliant finished cosmetic; oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.

A rice-derived extract or wax used for skin conditioning, absorbency or texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Oryza sativa-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices. Rice allergy remains possible in a susceptible person.

A yeast-derived ferment, filtrate or extract used for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that cosmetic ingredients derived from the reviewed yeast species are safe in current practices; this record applies to the standardized cosmetic INCI material, not an unspecified live culture.

Lightweight emollient used to support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid salt) is used for hydration and cushioning, with very low systemic absorption from topical use and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

A strongly alkaline raw material used mainly in small amounts to adjust pH or during soap manufacture. Concentrated potassium hydroxide is corrosive, but that raw-material hazard is not representative of a correctly formulated finished cosmetic. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that inorganic hydroxides are safe in current cosmetic uses when products are formulated to be non-irritating, with special handling conditions for depilatories and hair straighteners. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal use of a compliant finished product.
