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.

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.

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
Snail Secretion Filtrate
No known risks
An animal-derived protein, peptide or secretion filtrate used for hydration and skin conditioning. These large components are expected to have low systemic absorption through intact skin. No pregnancy-specific hazard signal was identified for normal topical cosmetic use. Cosmetic-grade materials should be processed to control microorganisms, infectious agents and source-derived impurities, and protein allergy remains possible.

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.

Carrageenan
No known risks
A plant-derived carbohydrate polymer or modified starch used to thicken, stabilise or condition a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the supported plant polysaccharide gums and derivatives are safe in current practices of use and concentration. Loose powders should still be used without deliberately inhaling airborne particles.

Questions about this assessment
Why does COSRX Advanced Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch have a Low risk rating?
Manual review 2026-07-13: The recorded formula was manually reviewed. This formula contains Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, classified as low risk under MamaSkin's pregnancy-screening policy. This is a cautious classification, not a known pregnancy contraindication; see the highlighted ingredient entry for its rationale and sources. 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 COSRX Advanced Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch been assessed?
21 of 21 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 COSRX Advanced Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch?
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.
