Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil

High risk

Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil is a concentrated fragrance essential oil with chemotype-dependent constituents (often including camphor/1,8-cineole). Pregnancy-specific evidence for topical cosmetic exposure is limited, and camphor-rich oils are commonly advised to avoid in pregnancy; combined with irritation/sensitisation potential, this supports a precautionary high-risk classification—especially in leave-on products.

Parfum

Low risk

Umbrella term for an undisclosed fragrance blend. It’s not usually a pregnancy-specific concern at normal cosmetic use levels, but the exact components and concentrations aren’t fully disclosed on the label, so we score it more conservatively. If you prefer maximum transparency (or you’re sensitive to fragrance compounds), choose fragrance-free/unscented products.

Alcohol

No known risks

Volatile solvent used in some toners, sprays, and lightweight formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; the main practical issue is dryness, stinging, or barrier disruption in some users.

Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Water

No known risks

The 2021 final CIR assessment explicitly includes the exact flower- or leaf-derived Citrus identity among 33 ingredients concluded safe in current cosmetic practices and concentrations.

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

Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract

No known risks

Kew treats Commiphora molmol as a synonym of Commiphora myrrha, supporting identity with EMA's resin assessment. The resin extract is not the distilled volatile myrrh oil rated Medium in the live table. EMA's topical resin/tincture evidence does not establish gestational harm from a dilute cosmetic resin extract; solvent and volatile fraction remain formulation considerations.

Citral

No known risks

A lemon-scented mixture of the aldehydes geranial and neral used in fragrance. Citral is a recognised skin sensitiser, but current cosmetic concerns relate to allergy and concentration rather than a pregnancy-specific hazard from normal topical use.

A grape fruit or seed extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Vitis vinifera-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitising. Botanical sensitivity remains possible.
