Water

No Known Risks

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.

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.

Panthenol

No Known Risks

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is used for soothing and barrier support and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic 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.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

No Known Risks

Botanical skin-conditioning ingredient used in soothing and hydrating formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use provided anthraquinone levels do not exceed the limits addressed in the safety assessment; no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern was identified in the material reviewed.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Aloe-derived Ingredients as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

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.

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.
