House of Hur Weightless Sun Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++

A diester used as an emollient, solvent and plasticizer. After reviewing additional dermal, reproductive, developmental and genotoxicity data, cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dibutyl adipate is safe in current cosmetic use and concentration. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

UV filter used in sunscreens and day products to help absorb UVB radiation. Reviewed cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support current cosmetic use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

Organic UVA filter used in sunscreens, also known as Ecamsule or Mexoryl SX. Cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the sources reviewed.

Mineral absorbent and texture aid used to mattify and improve slip. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical cosmetic use; this assessment does not cover deliberate inhalation of loose powder.

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

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

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.

A polyglycerin fatty-acid ester used as an emulsifier, dispersant or emollient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed family of 274 polyglyceryl fatty acid esters is safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

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.

Volatile/low-residue silicone emollient used to improve spreadability and sensory feel. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Modern UVA filter (often called Uvinul A+ or DHHB). Regulatory assessments have repeatedly evaluated this filter as safe in cosmetic products at concentrations up to 10%. The most recent SCCS advice focuses on controlling a manufacturing impurity (DnHexP) rather than on new toxicity of DHHB itself. Human biomonitoring data indicate low systemic exposure from normal sunscreen use, and current reviews do not identify specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals at approved concentrations.

Silicone-based organic UVB filter used in sunscreens and UV-protective cosmetics. SCCS reviewed Polysilicone-15 for cosmetic use, and no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern was identified in the sources reviewed.

Polymer thickener used to stabilise emulsions. Large-molecule ingredient with low systemic absorption.

An alkyl phosphate surfactant and emulsifier used to stabilise creams, sunscreens and makeup. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed alkyl phosphates, including potassium cetyl phosphate, are safe in current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating. Dermal penetration is expected to be limited, and no pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Modern broad-spectrum UV filter (often known as Tinosorb S). It has a high molecular weight and is formulated to remain mainly in the outer skin layers, with very low systemic absorption at cosmetic use levels. EU regulatory assessments and independent risk–benefit reviews have evaluated this filter as safe up to 10% in sunscreens, with no specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals identified in animals or humans at permitted concentrations.

Emulsifier and emollient used to stabilise creams and lotions. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

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

Large polymer thickener and stabilizer used in gels, serums and creams. Systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

Hydroxyacetophenone is used as an antioxidant and preservative-support ingredient; it is generally considered low concern in topical cosmetic use with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

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

Emulsifier and emollient ester used to stabilise creams and improve skin feel. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical cosmetic use; the relevant practical caveat is formulation irritation potential rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

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