Is it suitable during pregnancy?
MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream as Low risk (79/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Why this rating? Manual-review explanation
Manual review 2026-07-29: this formula contains coptis japonica root extract. Coptis japonica root extract is classified as Low Risk because it can contain berberine alkaloids that carry oral pregnancy and breastfeeding cautions, while topical cosmetic exposure is expected to be much lower. These are precautionary topical classifications, not evidence that normal cosmetic use is a known pregnancy contraindication.
37 of 37 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.

Coptis Japonica Root Extract
Low risk
Coptis japonica root contains isoquinoline alkaloids including berberine. Oral berberine has limited pregnancy data and precautionary concerns involving uterine activity and bilirubin displacement, while breastfeeding exposure is also discouraged. A cosmetic extract is used topically at much lower exposure and may vary in composition, so MamaSkin applies a precautionary Low Risk classification rather than an oral-supplement-level warning.

Questions about this assessment
Why does Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream have a Low risk rating?
Manual review 2026-07-29: this formula contains coptis japonica root extract. Coptis japonica root extract is classified as Low Risk because it can contain berberine alkaloids that carry oral pregnancy and breastfeeding cautions, while topical cosmetic exposure is expected to be much lower. These are precautionary topical classifications, not evidence that normal cosmetic use is a known pregnancy contraindication. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Does the niacinamide rating cover every ingredient in this product?
No. Niacinamide appears in the recorded formula, but its individual rating applies to that ingredient, not automatically to the whole product. Check the other ingredient ratings, any grey Not assessed entries and the stored product assessment. A niacinamide percentage or a product name is not a substitute for checking the full list.
Has every ingredient in Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream been assessed?
37 of 37 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 Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream?
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.
