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.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
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

Questions about this assessment
Why does COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence 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 COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence been assessed?
22 of 22 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 Radiance Dual Essence?
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.
