Ingredient ratings and evidence

Higher-risk flags first. Open an ingredient for evidence.

1,2-hexanediol

No known risks

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.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer

No known risks

Polymer thickener and stabiliser used in creams and sunscreens. Low systemic exposure expected.

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

anhydroxylitol

No known risks

Sugar-derived humectant used to support hydration, often as part of saccharide blends. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Saccharide Humectants / Saccharide Isomerate, etc.; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

brassica campestris seed oil

No known risks

A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

caprylic/capric triglyceride

No known risks

Common emollient derived from fatty acids and glycerin. Used to soften skin and improve texture without pregnancy-specific concerns.

caprylyl glycol

No known risks

Humectant and preservative booster used to support product stability. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

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

cetearyl alcohol

No known risks

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)

cetearyl glucoside

No known risks

Sugar-based emulsifier used to stabilise creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

Sources: CIR: Decyl Glucoside and Other Alkyl Glucosides as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

fructooligosaccharides

No known risks

Short plant-derived carbohydrate chains used for skin conditioning and formula support. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed fructooligosaccharides with plant polysaccharide gums and concluded that the group is safe in current practices. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

glucose

No known risks

Simple sugar used as a humectant and skin-conditioning support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, and Related Ingredients as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

glycerin

No known risks

Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

helianthus annuus seed oil

No known risks

Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil is a common emollient rich in fatty acids and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

laminaria ochroleuca extract

No known risks

An algae- or seaweed-derived ingredient used for skin conditioning, moisturising or texture support. Composition and trace mineral content vary by source. No pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure; this does not assess oral seaweed supplements.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Brown Algae-Derived Ingredients as Used in Cosmetics; European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; relevant algal cosmetic-ingredient literature.

mannitol

No known risks

This sugar or sugar alcohol is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support these saccharides in current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical exposure.

niacinamide

No known risks

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.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

paraffinum liquidum

No known risks

Highly refined mineral oil (occlusive emollient). Cosmetic-grade mineral oil has very low skin absorption and is widely considered safe for topical use during pregnancy when used as intended. Concerns raised online typically relate to unrefined/poorly refined mineral oils and dietary mineral oil hydrocarbons, not regulated cosmetic-grade topical use.

Cosmetic safety assessments of the related saccharide mixture and xylitol did not identify a reproductive or pregnancy-specific concern at cosmetic exposure; available data primarily support local tolerance rather than proving pregnancy safety. No topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

Questions about this assessment

Why does Bioderma Atoderm Ultra Cream have a No known risks rating?

No higher-risk ingredient flags are shown in the assessed entries. Ingredients without a matched rating are marked Not assessed, not No known risks. 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 Bioderma Atoderm Ultra Cream been assessed?

24 of 24 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 Bioderma Atoderm Ultra 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.
