Is it suitable during pregnancy?
MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser as Low risk (74/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Why this rating?
The recorded formula includes 3 ingredient entries with risk flags: Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract (Low risk), Lactic Acid (Low risk), Phenoxyethanol (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
25 of 25 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.

Phenoxyethanol
Low risk
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative permitted in EU cosmetics up to 1.0%. The SCCS concluded it is safe for cosmetic use at that level, including when considering higher cosmetic exposure scenarios in infants and young children. Main practical concern is irritation/stinging on very sensitive or compromised skin rather than a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific risk.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
Low risk
Pregnancy concerns around licorice are based mainly on high oral glycyrrhizin intake, which has been linked to shorter gestation and cortisol-related effects in offspring; by contrast, licorice root extracts have been assessed as safe as used in cosmetics, so routine topical skincare exposure fits a cautious low-risk classification.

Lactic Acid
Low risk
Endogenous alpha-hydroxy acid and humectant; at modest cosmetic concentrations (≈5% and below, and generally <10%) topical lactic acid is considered compatible with pregnancy. Main risks are local irritation and increased photosensitivity rather than systemic toxicity or fetal effects.

Water
No known risks
Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine
No known risks
Mild amphoteric surfactant used in cleansers and shampoos to boost foam and reduce harshness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support present cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified; the main practical caveat is irritation or allergy in some users, sometimes linked to sensitising impurities.

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
No known risks
An anionic surfactant used mainly in gentle cleansers and shampoos. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that alkyl PEG sulfosuccinates, including disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating and manufactured with appropriate impurity controls.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
No known risks
An anionic surfactant used for cleansing and foam. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is safe in current practices. It is distinct from sodium lauryl sulfate, although either surfactant can irritate sensitive skin in a strong cleanser.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
No known risks
A mild anionic surfactant derived from fatty acids and methyltaurate, used mainly in cleansers and shampoos. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the reviewed taurate surfactants, including sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

Decyl Glucoside
No known risks
Mild nonionic surfactant used in cleansers and emulsions. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references support normal topical rinse-off and leave-on use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified; sensitive skin may still react to surfactants.
Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Alkyl Glucosides as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory
Cocamide Methyl Mea
No known risks
A fatty-acid monoethanolamide used mainly to boost foam, condition hair or control viscosity. CIR concluded that the reviewed ethanolamides, including Cocamide MEA, Cocamide Methyl MEA, Acetamide MEA and related MEA amides, are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating and should not be used where N-nitroso compounds may form. Available systemic, genotoxicity and cosmetic-exposure evidence did not identify a pregnancy-specific concern. This assessment assumes compliant impurity control and is not an assessment of concentrated occupational inhalation exposure.

Questions about this assessment
Why does BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 3 ingredient entries with risk flags: Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract (Low risk), Lactic Acid (Low risk), Phenoxyethanol (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.
Has every ingredient in BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser been assessed?
25 of 25 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 Creamy Jelly Cleanser?
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.
