Xanthan Gum

No Known Risks

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

Sources: European cosmetics regulatory framework

Polyquaternium-67

No Known Risks

A numbered cationic polymer used for hair conditioning, antistatic effects, film formation or formula texture. The Polyquaternium number identifies a distinct polymer, so evidence from one number is not treated as proof for every other number. For this ingredient, no pregnancy, reproductive or breastfeeding hazard signal was identified in the cosmetic-use and substance information reviewed. Its polymeric size makes meaningful absorption through intact skin unlikely; local irritation and control of residual monomers remain formulation-quality considerations.

Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; CIR safety assessments and December 2025 Quick Reference Table for structurally and functionally related polyquaternium cosmetic polymers https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/QRT-Update-Dec2025.pdf; publicly available supplier safety data and ECHA substance information where available for the named polymer. No ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were identified.

Propanediol

No Known Risks

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

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

Ethylhexylglycerin

No Known Risks

Questions about this assessment

Has every ingredient in Arencia Rice Mucin Cleanser been assessed?

24 of 24 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.

Does this assessment apply to the Arencia Rice Mucin Cleanser I have?

Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.

Does this pregnancy assessment also establish breastfeeding suitability?

No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.

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.
