Ingredient ratings and evidence

Higher-risk flags first. Open an ingredient for evidence.

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.

Hexylene Glycol

No known risks

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility in topical cosmetics. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

Alcohol Denat.

No known risks

Volatile solvent used to improve texture, drying time, and penetration in some formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; the main practical issue is dryness, stinging, or barrier disruption in some users.

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

No known risks

A mild amphoteric cleansing surfactant. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that disodium cocoamphodiacetate is safe as used; the original conclusion was reaffirmed on re-review, while the current group reassessment proposes non-sensitising formulation controls. Impurities may contribute to occasional irritation or allergy.

Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to improve formula stability and performance; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetic use, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

Poloxamer 184

No known risks

A high-molecular-weight polymer used for film formation, texture or stabilisation. Meaningful dermal absorption is expected to be limited and no reproductive or developmental concern was identified for normal topical use.

Sources: CIR safety framework for cosmetic polymers; European Commission CosIng.

Polyaminopropyl Biguanide

No known risks

Reviewed evidence, including reassuring reproductive and developmental safety margins, did not identify a pregnancy-specific concern for assessed non-inhaled cosmetic use. Spray exposure and sensitisation require separate consideration.

Questions about this assessment

Why does Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water 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.

Has every ingredient in Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water been assessed?

7 of 7 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 Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water?

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.
