The recorded formula, with evidence behind each rating. Unmatched ingredients are marked Not assessed in grey.

Ingredient ratings and evidence

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

Phenoxyethanol

Low risk

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative permitted in EU cosmetics up to 1.0%. The SCCS concluded it is safe for cosmetic use at that level, including when considering higher cosmetic exposure scenarios in infants and young children. Main practical concern is irritation/stinging on very sensitive or compromised skin rather than a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific risk.

Sources: SCCS/1575/16: Phenoxyethanol opinion https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/phenoxyethanol_en

Parfum

Low risk

Umbrella term for an undisclosed fragrance blend. It’s not usually a pregnancy-specific concern at normal cosmetic use levels, but the exact components and concentrations aren’t fully disclosed on the label, so we score it more conservatively. If you prefer maximum transparency (or you’re sensitive to fragrance compounds), choose fragrance-free/unscented products.

Sources: SCCS: Fragrance allergens in cosmetic products https://health.ec.europa.eu/latest-updates/sccs-new-opinion-fragrance-allergens-cosmetic-products-2012-07-31_en

Gluconolactone

Low risk

Polyhydroxy acid (PHA) used as a gentle exfoliant/humectant; generally less irritating than AHAs due to lower penetration. Considered safe as used in cosmetics, with no pregnancy-specific contraindications identified at topical cosmetic concentrations.

Davidsonia Jerseyana Fruit Extract

No known risks

A documented water/glycerin Davidsonia jerseyana edible-fruit preparation supports a scoped ordinary intact-skin cosmetic assessment. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for conventional diluted use. A methanolic Davidsonia extract caused dose-related mortality in a direct zebrafish embryo bath; its exact jerseyana species identity was unresolved, and the direct-bath route is unlike maternal skin application. The adverse study is retained without claiming equivalent exposure or fetal safety proof. This does not clear selected medicinal fractions, other plant parts, oral doses, inhalation or enhanced delivery.

Podocarpus Elatus Fruit Extract

No known risks

Illawarra-plum fruit extract is supplied in a diluted glycerin/water cosmetic matrix. Findings about other Podocarpus species or plant parts cannot automatically be assigned to this fruit preparation. Ordinary diluted use on intact external skin is expected to produce low systemic exposure, with no identified pregnancy-specific concern for that preparation. This exposure-based conclusion does not mean pregnancy safety has been proven.

Sources: Peer-reviewed literature on poly-gamma-glutamic acid biomaterials and topical hydration; European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory.

Pleiogynium Timoriense Fruit Extract

No known risks

Burdekin-plum fruit extract is supplied in a diluted glycerin/water matrix. This does not cover other plant parts, oral concentrates or engineered delivery. Ordinary diluted use on intact external skin is expected to produce low systemic exposure, with no identified pregnancy-specific concern for that preparation. This exposure-based conclusion does not mean pregnancy safety has been proven.

Epilobium Fleischeri Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

No known risks

Alpine willowherb flower, leaf and stem extract contains flavonoids and ellagitannins, including oenothein B. It has local sebum-regulating activity, so its biological effects should not be described as inert.

Questions about this assessment

Why does Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream have a Low risk rating?

The recorded formula includes 3 ingredient entries with risk flags: Gluconolactone (Low risk), Phenoxyethanol (Low risk), Parfum (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. Incomplete ingredient documentation does not establish safety; see the coverage answer and grey entries below.

Does the niacinamide rating cover every ingredient in this product?

No. Niacinamide appears in the recorded formula, but its individual rating applies to that ingredient, not automatically to the whole product. Check the other ingredient ratings, any grey Not assessed entries and the stored product assessment. A niacinamide percentage or a product name is not a substitute for checking the full list.

Has every ingredient in Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream been assessed?

63 of 64 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. 1 entry does not have all of those fields. Unmatched or unrated entries are marked Not assessed in grey; missing evidence does not establish safety.

Does this assessment apply to my Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream?

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.
