Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream

Common emollient derived from fatty acids and glycerin. Used to soften skin and improve texture without pregnancy-specific concerns.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is widely used for barrier support and tone/texture benefits, and is generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding when used topically at cosmetic concentrations.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

Fatty alcohol used to improve texture and skin feel. Considered safe for cosmetic use without pregnancy-specific concerns.

Fatty alcohol used as an emollient and thickener. Not the same as drying alcohols and not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived skincare ingredient used as a retinol alternative. Although it can show some retinol-like cosmetic effects, it is not a retinoid or vitamin A derivative. Human topical studies suggest good tolerability, and current literature does not identify a known pregnancy-specific risk signal for topical cosmetic use. Overall, it is generally considered a lower-concern alternative to retinoids in pregnancy, while recognising that direct pregnancy-specific studies remain limited.

Fatty alcohol used as an emollient and stabiliser. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

Polymer thickener used to create gel textures. Large-molecule ingredient with negligible systemic absorption.

Sugar-based emulsifier used to stabilise creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

pH adjuster and buffer used to stabilise formulations. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

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

A rice-derived extract or wax used for skin conditioning, absorbency or texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Oryza sativa-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices. Rice allergy remains possible in a susceptible person.

A waxy fatty-acid ester used as an emollient and texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that cetyl palmitate and the wider alkyl-ester group are safe in current practices of use; finished formulas should be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A sugar-derived surfactant and emulsifier. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that alkyl glucosides, including C12-20 alkyl glucoside, are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating.

A large synthetic polymer used to thicken and stabilise cosmetic emulsions. Related acrylate copolymers have low dermal absorption because of their molecular size, and cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that this polymer family is safe when formulas avoid irritation and residual monomers are appropriately controlled. Exact pregnancy-specific topical studies are limited, but no pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal exposure to the finished polymer in a compliant cosmetic.

Olive-derived sorbitan ester used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic safety references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

A large, mostly insoluble polymer used as a binder, film former and texture ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that polyisobutene is safe in current cosmetic use; slow absorption and reproductive data on related polybutene do not indicate a pregnancy-specific concern from normal topical exposure.

A long-chain fatty alcohol used as an emollient, thickener and stabiliser. This is not the same concern profile as volatile drying alcohols; cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that myristyl and related fatty alcohols are safe in current practices. Local irritation is uncommon but possible.

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

A botanical root extract used as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Panax root-derived ingredients are safe in current practices of use and concentration. The assessment considered the biological activity of ginsenosides and available reproductive and developmental information; ordinary topical cosmetic exposure was not identified as a pregnancy-specific concern. Botanical irritation or allergy remains possible.

A plant-derived carbohydrate polymer or modified starch used to thicken, stabilise or condition a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the supported plant polysaccharide gums and derivatives are safe in current practices of use and concentration. Loose powders should still be used without deliberately inhaling airborne particles.

Skin-conditioning ingredient commonly used in leave-on skincare. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

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.

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.

This glucose-derived nonionic surfactant or emulsifier is used in cleansers and emulsions. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that alkyl glucosides are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating; sensitive skin can still react to surfactants.

This sorbitan fatty-acid ester is an emulsifier that helps oil and water phases remain mixed. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that sorbitan esters are safe in current cosmetic use; occasional contact reactions remain possible in sensitive users.

Simple sugar used as a humectant and skin-conditioning support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

Humectant and preservative booster. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure.
