A naturally sourced clay used as an absorbent, bulking agent or texture aid. CIR concluded that Hectorite, Illite and Montmorillonite are safe in current cosmetic practices, except that available data are insufficient for products that may be incidentally inhaled. No pregnancy-specific systemic concern was identified for topical use; cosmetic-grade sourcing should control crystalline silica, heavy metals and microbial contamination.

No pregnancy-specific harm has been identified for ordinary, correctly formulated topical cosmetic use of phaseolus angularis seed extract. This is a bounded botanical/extract assessment; direct pregnancy studies of the exact material are limited and oral, medicinal, damaged-skin or aerosol exposure is not included.

A botanical extract, plant water or plant juice used for conditioning, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of this exact cosmetic material were not identified, but no reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure. Oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.

Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; CIR botanical safety framework and relevant plant-derived ingredient assessments; no ingredient-specific human pregnancy study of normal topical cosmetic use was identified.

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

A large synthetic polymer used to thicken and stabilise cosmetic emulsions. Related acrylate copolymers have low dermal absorption because of their molecular size, and cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that this polymer family is safe when formulas avoid irritation and residual monomers are appropriately controlled. Exact pregnancy-specific topical studies are limited, but no pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal exposure to the finished polymer in a compliant cosmetic.

A large, mostly insoluble polymer used as a binder, film former and texture ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that polyisobutene is safe in current cosmetic use; slow absorption and reproductive data on related polybutene do not indicate a pregnancy-specific concern from normal topical exposure.
