La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Eye Cream

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

Lightweight emollient used to support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter is an emollient/occlusive that supports the skin barrier; topical use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks.

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

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.

This cellulose or modified-cellulose polymer is used as a thickener, film former or stabilizer. Cosmetic Ingredient Review data indicate that cellulose polymers do not appreciably penetrate skin and are safe in current cosmetic use, with at most minimal irritation reported.

Corn starch, a plant-derived polysaccharide used to absorb moisture, reduce greasiness and improve texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that ingredients derived from Zea mays, including corn starch, are safe in current cosmetic use. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure; avoid deliberately inhaling loose powder.

Nonionic surfactant and solubiliser used to disperse oils and fragrance. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to hold water and stabilise texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer is safe in current cosmetic practices. Dermal absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited; residual monomers should be controlled by cosmetic manufacturing standards.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers are safe in current cosmetic practices. Absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited, with residual monomers controlled during manufacture.

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.

pH adjuster used in small amounts to maintain product stability. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Chelating ingredient used to improve formula stability by binding trace metals. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.
