Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sunflower seed- and flower-derived ingredients are safe as used; lipsticks containing this wax were not irritating or sensitising in reviewed tests. People with sunflower-seed allergy should still use caution.

A small glycerin polymer used as a humectant and conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed polyglycerin-3 with diglycerin and related polyglycerins and concluded that they are safe in current practices of use and concentration. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical use.

A plant-derived wax used as an emollient, structurant and film former. Systemic absorption is expected to be low and cosmetic safety concerns are primarily local irritation or source allergy. No pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical use.

A concentrated, dried form of aloe leaf juice that is reconstituted in soothing and moisturising formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Aloe barbadensis leaf juice is safe in current cosmetic practices of use when anthraquinone levels do not exceed 50 ppm. Applying that conclusion to its dried cosmetic-grade powder requires the same impurity control. This assessment concerns topical cosmetic exposure rather than oral aloe latex, and no pregnancy-specific topical concern was identified.

Tropolone is used as a preservative-supporting, chelating, or antimicrobial cosmetic ingredient. No pregnancy-specific reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Local irritation remains formulation-dependent.

Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; ECHA substance information and cosmetic-use safety data. No ingredient-specific human pregnancy study of topical cosmetic use was identified.

Plant-derived emollient oil used to soften skin and support formula texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.
