Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is used for soothing and barrier support and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

A surface-modified silica used to thicken oils and improve texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that silica silylate is safe in current practices when the final product is not irritating or sensitising to the respiratory tract. Avoid deliberately inhaling loose or airborne powder.

A large, mostly insoluble polymer used as a binder, film former and texture ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers reaffirmed polybutene as safe in current cosmetic use, and a multigeneration reproductive study did not identify adverse effects. Normal topical exposure is not expected to create a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern.

Formulations can change without notice. For the most accurate result, compare this list with your packaging and scan the exact ingredient label in MamaSkin when you repurchase.
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.
MamaSkin provides pregnancy-focused information, not medical advice. Your midwife, GP, pharmacist or dermatologist should take priority when your circumstances differ from typical cosmetic use.
