Water
No known risks
Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine
No known risks
Mild amphoteric surfactant used in cleansers and shampoos to boost foam and reduce harshness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support present cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified; the main practical caveat is irritation or allergy in some users, sometimes linked to sensitising impurities.

Glycerin
No known risks
Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
No known risks
A mild surfactant used for cleansing, foaming or formula stabilisation. The practical concern is formulation-dependent irritation, particularly in strong cleansers. No pregnancy-specific systemic concern was identified for normal topical or rinse-off exposure.

Coco-Glucoside
No known risks
This glucose-derived nonionic surfactant or emulsifier is used in cleansers and emulsions. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that alkyl glucosides are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating; sensitive skin can still react to surfactants.

Polyquaternium-7
No known risks
A large conditioning and film-forming polymer used mainly in hair and cleansing products. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Polyquaternium-7 is safe in current cosmetic use at the reviewed concentrations. Its polymeric nature limits systemic exposure, and no pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical use.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Glyceryl Oleate
No known risks
A glycerol and oleic-acid ester used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety assessments and its well-characterized metabolic components support current cosmetic use without a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern from normal topical exposure.

Avena Sativa Kernel Flour
No known risks
Finely milled oat kernel material used for soothing, absorbency and skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Avena sativa kernel flour is safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. People with oat sensitivity may still react, and loose powder should not be deliberately inhaled.

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
No known risks
An oat kernel extract used for skin conditioning and soothing. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Avena sativa kernel extract and most assessed oat-derived ingredients are safe in current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-sensitising and manufactured with appropriate impurity controls. Oat allergy or contact sensitivity can occur in susceptible people, but no pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Questions about this assessment
Why does Aveeno Calm + Restore Body Wash have a No known risks rating?
No higher-risk ingredient flags are shown in the assessed entries. Ingredients without a matched rating are marked Not assessed, not No known risks. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Does a barrier-care product name establish pregnancy suitability?
No. This recorded formula contains Panthenol or Madecassoside, but a barrier-care claim does not establish the assessment of all its other ingredients. Read the individual ingredient evidence and any manual-review explanation, and compare the recorded list with your packaging.
Has every ingredient in Aveeno Calm + Restore Body Wash been assessed?
18 of 18 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 my Aveeno Calm + Restore Body Wash?
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.
