Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Supercharged Eye Gel-Cream

A lightweight volatile linear silicone used as a solvent and texture ingredient. Related linear methicone ingredients have reassuring cosmetic safety assessments, but an exact final Cosmetic Ingredient Review finding for Methyl Trimethicone was not located. MamaSkin classifies it as low risk because exact-ingredient pregnancy and inhalation data are limited, while no specific pregnancy contraindication has been identified for normal topical cosmetic use.

A crosslinked silicone elastomer used for texture and oil absorption. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dimethicone crosspolymers are safe in current cosmetic use. MamaSkin classifies the exact polymer as low risk for consistency with the existing dimethicone-family policy and because manufacturing controls are needed for residual monomers, rather than because of a known pregnancy-specific contraindication.

Silicone derivative with negligible systemic absorption in topical cosmetic use; treated as low risk in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A non-live bacterial fermentation lysate used for skin conditioning. It is not the same as applying live bacteria. Available cosmetic safety information and the nature of the processed material do not identify a pregnancy-specific concern for normal topical exposure.

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

Highly refined petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is a skin protectant/occlusive with minimal dermal penetration; safety depends on refining/PAH impurity controls and cosmetic/medical grades meet established standards.

This sugar or sugar alcohol is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support these saccharides in current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical exposure.

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.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers are safe in current practices. Residual monomers should be controlled during manufacture.

Sugar-derived humectant used to help bind water and improve skin feel. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

A plant-part extract used for skin conditioning, soothing, fragrance or antioxidant support. No pregnancy-specific systemic signal was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. This assessment does not extend to essential oils, oral herbal products or medicinal doses, and botanical sensitivity remains possible.

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.

Ferment-derived skin-conditioning ingredient used in microbiome-support and soothing formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E derivative) is used as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient; it is considered low concern in topical use with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at cosmetic concentrations.

A yeast-derived ferment, filtrate or extract used for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that cosmetic ingredients derived from the reviewed yeast species are safe in current practices; this record applies to the standardized cosmetic INCI material, not an unspecified live culture.

Methylxanthine used in cosmetics (e.g., de-puffing/firming and antioxidant support). No pregnancy-specific contraindications are identified for topical cosmetic use.

Lightweight emollient used to support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

A Roman chamomile flower extract or oil used for skin conditioning and fragrance. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Anthemis nobilis-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. People allergic to plants in the daisy family may be more likely to react.

A fruit, seed or food-plant extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. No pregnancy-specific signal was identified for the low topical exposure expected from a finished cosmetic. Direct pregnancy studies are generally unavailable, and botanical allergy remains possible.

An apple fruit extract used mainly for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Pyrus malus fruit extract and the other supported apple-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices of use and concentration. The conclusion does not extend to several separately identified root, stem, callus or oil ingredients for which evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical use of the fruit extract.

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

Natural-moisturising-factor humectant that helps bind water in the stratum corneum. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Skin-conditioning lipid used in barrier-support formulas, commonly alongside ceramides and cholesterol. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

An algae- or seaweed-derived ingredient used for skin conditioning, moisturising or texture support. Composition and trace mineral content vary by source. No pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure; this does not assess oral seaweed supplements.

Jojoba-derived wax esters used as emollients, texture agents and skin-conditioning ingredients. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

Hydrogenated emulsifier used to support skin barrier feel. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Emulsifier and skin-conditioning ingredient composed of phospholipids. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Low-viscosity isoparaffin emollient used for slip and lightweight texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.
