A papaya fruit extract used for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Carica papaya fruit and fruit-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices; this conclusion does not extend to papaya leaf extract, for which the available evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya and used for exfoliation. No pregnancy-specific systemic concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Papain can irritate skin and can cause allergy, especially in people sensitive to papaya or latex.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; PubMed literature on papain contact allergy, occupational sensitisation and topical cosmetic use.
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.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; CIR botanical safety framework and relevant fruit-derived ingredient assessments; peer-reviewed cosmetic and phytochemical literature for the named plants.
fragaria ananassa fruit extract is a botanical-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. The reviewed identity is not a concentrated 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.

The risk band is the primary conclusion. The score adds detail within that band and should not be used to compare products as if a one-point difference were clinically meaningful.
