AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

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.

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.

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

A sugar-derived humectant or starch hydrolysate used to retain moisture and support formula texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed saccharide humectants and hydrogenated starch hydrolysate are safe in current practices. Dermal absorption of larger carbohydrate materials is expected to be limited.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

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

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 flower extract used for skin conditioning and soothing. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Calendula officinalis-derived ingredients, including the flower extract, are safe in current cosmetic practices of use and concentration. Available testing did not identify significant systemic, reproductive or developmental toxicity at cosmetic exposure, although botanical sensitivity remains possible. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified.

A papaya fruit extract used for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Carica papaya fruit and fruit-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices; this conclusion does not extend to papaya leaf extract, for which the available evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A sea buckthorn fruit extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. Cosmetic safety assessments of Hippophae rhamnoides-derived ingredients support current cosmetic uses, and no pregnancy-specific signal was identified for normal topical exposure. Botanical allergy remains possible.

malpighia glabra fruit extract is a botanical-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. The reviewed identity is not a concentrated essential oil or an oral herbal preparation. Available cosmetic evidence and expected topical exposure did not identify a pregnancy-specific contraindication, although botanical irritation or allergy remains possible.

Polyglycerin fatty-acid ester used as an emulsifier and solubilizer. Reviewed cosmetic safety references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

Preservative used to help protect formulas from microbial growth. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support present cosmetic use; no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern was identified in the material reviewed, although some users may still notice local irritation or sensitivity.

Amino acid used as a humectant, skin-conditioning agent, and pH-adjusting support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure when used as intended.

Polymer thickener used to create gel textures. Large-molecule ingredient with negligible systemic absorption.

An antioxidant peptide naturally present in the body and used in topical products for skin conditioning and tone. Clinical studies and systematic reviews report generally good tolerance of topical glutathione, although evidence for cosmetic benefits remains limited. No pregnancy-specific topical signal was identified.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

A plant-derived carbohydrate polymer or modified starch used to thicken, stabilise or condition a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the supported plant polysaccharide gums and derivatives are safe in current practices of use and concentration. Loose powders should still be used without deliberately inhaling airborne particles.

Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to improve formula stability and performance; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetic use, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

Cellulose-derived thickener used to build viscosity and improve texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.
