COSRX Ultra-Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

Water (aqua) is the purified solvent used as the base of many cosmetics. MamaSkin classifies plain water as No known risks for normal topical use. Cosmetic water quality must be controlled to prevent contamination; this entry does not cover botanical waters or establish the safety of the finished formula.

Organic UVA/UVB filter used in sunscreens, also known as Mexoryl XL. Cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the sources reviewed.

UV filter used in sunscreens and day products to help absorb UVB radiation. Reviewed cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support current cosmetic use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

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.

Modern UVA filter (often called Uvinul A+ or DHHB). Regulatory assessments have repeatedly evaluated this filter as safe in cosmetic products at concentrations up to 10%. The most recent SCCS advice focuses on controlling a manufacturing impurity (DnHexP) rather than on new toxicity of DHHB itself. Human biomonitoring data indicate low systemic exposure from normal sunscreen use, and current reviews do not identify specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals at approved concentrations.

Organic UVA filter used in sunscreens, also known as Ecamsule or Mexoryl SX. Cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the sources reviewed.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

Long-chain fatty alcohol used as an emollient and thickener. This is not the same concern profile as simple drying alcohols; reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers and concluded that they are safe in current cosmetic practices. Absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited, with residual monomers controlled during manufacture.

hamamelis virginiana leaf water is a botanical-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. The reviewed identity is not an essential oil or an oral herbal preparation. Available cosmetic evidence and expected topical exposure did not identify a pregnancy-specific contraindication, although botanical irritation or allergy remains possible.

pH adjuster and buffer used to stabilise formulations. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Large polymer thickener and stabilizer used in gels, serums and creams. Systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

A long-chain fatty alcohol or fatty-alcohol blend used as an emollient, emulsifier or thickener. Cosmetic safety assessments of long-chain fatty alcohols support use in current cosmetic practices; systemic absorption and reproductive exposure from normal topical use are expected to be low.

Humectant and preservative booster used to support product stability. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

Preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure when used as intended.

This glucose-derived nonionic surfactant or emulsifier is used in cleansers and emulsions. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that alkyl glucosides are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating; sensitive skin can still react to surfactants.

A simple inorganic salt used to adjust viscosity, ionic strength, pH or formula stability. At normal cosmetic concentrations, no pregnancy-specific concern was identified from topical exposure. Concentrated raw material may irritate skin or eyes, so this assessment applies to a compliant finished cosmetic rather than occupational handling.

Skin-conditioning ingredient commonly used in leave-on skincare. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid salt) is used for hydration and cushioning, with very low systemic absorption from topical use and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Allantoin is a soothing skin protectant commonly used to help reduce irritation and support comfort, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

pH adjuster used in small amounts to maintain product stability. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Preservative widely used in foods and cosmetics. Considered safe at regulated concentrations with low systemic exposure from topical use.
