Is it suitable during pregnancy?
MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray as Low risk (76/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Why this rating? Manual-review explanation
Newly reviewed ingredient guidance supports a Low Risk precaution for this listed formula. Manganese Gluconate: A soluble manganese salt. Low Risk is a dose-and-use precaution: a Health Canada draft assessment models concern for some manganese-containing cosmetics, not demonstrated fetal harm from trace cosmetic use. It uses absorption data from another soluble salt, not a direct gluconate measurement. Concentration, area and frequency matter; direct topical pregnancy studies and a validated pregnancy-safe percentage are lacking. Use finished products as directed; seek advice for concentrated, large-area or damaged-skin use and avoid inhaling sprays or powder.
15 of 15 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.

Pentylene Glycol
No known risks
Humectant and preservative booster. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Sodium Citrate
No known risks
Buffering and chelating ingredient used to control pH and formulation stability. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Mannose
No known risks
A sugar, polysaccharide or related carbohydrate used for hydration, texture or formula support. No reproductive or developmental concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; CIR safety assessments of saccharides and naturally derived polymers as used in cosmetics.
Madecassoside
No known risks
A triterpene glycoside associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical madecassoside is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but noted that madecassoside and related triterpenes may contribute to sensitisation, so products should be formulated to avoid sensitising concentrations. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

Sodium Chloride
No known risks
Sodium chloride is used to adjust viscosity and texture in formulations; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Coco-Betaine
No known risks
A cleansing and foam-supporting surfactant made from coconut-derived fatty chains. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that alkyl betaines, including coco-betaine, are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating. Surfactant-containing products may still sting eyes or irritated skin.

Questions about this assessment
Why does La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray have a Low risk rating?
Newly reviewed ingredient guidance supports a Low Risk precaution for this listed formula. Manganese Gluconate: A soluble manganese salt. Low Risk is a dose-and-use precaution: a Health Canada draft assessment models concern for some manganese-containing cosmetics, not demonstrated fetal harm from trace cosmetic use. It uses absorption data from another soluble salt, not a direct gluconate measurement. Concentration, area and frequency matter; direct topical pregnancy studies and a validated pregnancy-safe percentage are lacking. Use finished products as directed; seek advice for concentrated, large-area or damaged-skin use and avoid inhaling sprays or powder. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Does a barrier-care product name establish pregnancy suitability?
No. This recorded formula contains Panthenol or Madecassoside, but a barrier-care claim does not establish the assessment of all its other ingredients. Read the individual ingredient evidence and any manual-review explanation, and compare the recorded list with your packaging.
Has every ingredient in La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray been assessed?
15 of 15 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 La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray?
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.
