A silicone resin used as a film former, texture enhancer and opacifying ingredient in makeup, sunscreen and skin care. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that polysilsesquioxanes including Polymethylsilsesquioxane are safe in current cosmetic use. Available evidence does not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A polyglycerin fatty-acid ester used as an emulsifier, dispersant or emollient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed family of 274 polyglyceryl fatty acid esters is safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A small diol used as a solvent, humectant and formula-support ingredient. CIR assessed alkane diols used in cosmetics and concluded that the reviewed ingredients are safe in current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical exposure.

Emulsifier and emollient used to stabilise creams and lotions. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

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

A high-molecular-weight acrylate polymer used as a film former and texture modifier. Its high molecular weight limits meaningful skin penetration. No reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; Cosmetic Ingredient Review botanical safety-assessment framework and relevant ingredient-family assessments. No ingredient-specific human pregnancy study of normal topical cosmetic use was identified.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers and concluded that they are safe in current cosmetic practices. Absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited, with residual monomers controlled during manufacture.

Fatty alcohol used as an emollient and thickener. Not the same as drying alcohols and not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

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

Large polymer thickener and stabilizer used in gels, serums and creams. Systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

A fermentation-derived cosmetic ingredient used for conditioning or formula support. Composition depends on organism, substrate and controls. No pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical exposure; ingestion is outside this classification.

Sources: CIR materials on microbial and fermentation-derived ingredients; European Commission CosIng.

Emulsifier and emollient ester used to stabilise creams and improve skin feel. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

lactobacillus/rice ferment is a non-live fermentation-derived or microbial-lysate cosmetic ingredient. CIR assessments of Lactobacillus and yeast-derived cosmetic materials support use under current formulation practices. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical use; this does not assess live organisms or oral supplements.
