Is it suitable during pregnancy?
MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for BYOMA Barrier+ Repair Treatment as Low risk (79/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Why this rating?
The recorded formula includes 3 ingredient entries with risk flags: Methyl Trimethicone (Low risk), Simethicone (Low risk), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
49 of 49 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.

Methyl Trimethicone
Low risk
A lightweight volatile linear silicone used as a solvent and texture ingredient. Related linear methicone ingredients have reassuring cosmetic safety assessments, but an exact final Cosmetic Ingredient Review finding for Methyl Trimethicone was not located. MamaSkin classifies it as low risk because exact-ingredient pregnancy and inhalation data are limited, while no specific pregnancy contraindication has been identified for normal topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Dimethicone Methicone and Substituted-Methicone Polymers https://cir-safety.org/supplementaldoc/safety-assessment-dimethicone-methicone-and-substituted-methicone-polymers-used-cosm; CIR Quick Reference Table December 2025
Simethicone
Low risk
This ingredient is a silicone material documented within CIR's broader dimethicone and substituted-methicone family assessment. CIR concluded the reviewed ingredients safe as used when formulated to be non-irritating to skin and eyes. This is family-level cosmetic evidence, not ingredient-specific human pregnancy evidence for every material. MamaSkin therefore retains Low Risk without claiming negligible absorption for this individual ingredient.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Low risk
A purified glycyrrhizic-acid salt used as a soothing and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dipotassium glycyrrhizate is safe in current cosmetic use and noted poor dermal absorption. MamaSkin nevertheless applies a cautious low-risk classification for consistency with the existing licorice family because high oral glycyrrhizin exposure has pregnancy-related concerns; this is not a topical contraindication.

Questions about this assessment
Why does BYOMA Barrier+ Repair Treatment have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 3 ingredient entries with risk flags: Methyl Trimethicone (Low risk), Simethicone (Low risk), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Is the licorice-derived ingredient the same as drinking licorice tea?
No. The recorded formula lists a licorice-derived cosmetic ingredient, not an oral licorice product. Different ingredients and routes of exposure should not be treated as interchangeable. Use the exact ingredient's rating and evidence below, together with any manual-review note; this score does not assess teas, supplements or other licorice formulas.
Has every ingredient in BYOMA Barrier+ Repair Treatment been assessed?
49 of 49 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 BYOMA Barrier+ Repair Treatment?
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.
