Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Emollient ester commonly used in lip, makeup and skin-care formulas for cushion and gloss. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

Inert synthetic emollient used as a glossing and occlusive agent. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

A large hydrogenated hydrocarbon polymer used as an emollient and texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed hydrogenated poly(C6-14 olefin) with cosmetic polyenes and concluded that the group is safe in current practices of use and concentration. Dermal absorption is expected to be limited by molecular size.

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.

Highly refined mineral wax used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic-grade microcrystalline wax has minimal skin absorption and no known pregnancy-specific concerns in topical use as intended. Concerns raised online typically relate to unrefined mineral oil impurities or dietary exposure, not cosmetic-grade topical use.

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.

Inert wax/structuring ingredient used to add body, stability and texture to cosmetics. Normal topical use is expected to have low systemic exposure, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

A high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon copolymer used for film formation, texture and viscosity. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that these named ethylene/propylene copolymers are safe in current practices. Absorption of the intact polymers is expected to be limited.

Mineral platelet used to add shimmer and improve texture in makeup and skincare. Very low dermal absorption in typical topical use and generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays.

This wax is used as an emollient and structuring ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified; uncommon contact allergy can occur, particularly with natural wax components.

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.

Colour Index name for titanium dioxide. Used as a pigment and (in some products) a mineral UV filter. For typical topical use in creams, lotions and makeup, systemic absorption is expected to be very low. Most concerns discussed in the literature relate to ingestion (E171) or inhalation from fine powders/sprays, and to nanoparticle characterisation. For routine topical cosmetic use, it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays.

Emollient, co-emulsifier and preservative-support ingredient used in topical cosmetics. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

This wax is used as an emollient and structuring ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified; uncommon contact allergy can occur, particularly with natural wax components.

An ester of diglycerin and isostearic acid used as an emollient and emulsifier. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed polyglyceryl fatty acid esters, including this ingredient, as safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

Coconut-derived emollient oil used to soften skin and support barrier feel. Normal topical cosmetic use has no known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern; very acne-prone or coconut-allergic users may prefer to avoid it for personal tolerance reasons.

Also known as FD&C Yellow No. 6 or Sunset Yellow FCF, this certified colour additive is used in cosmetics and other regulated products. FDA permanently lists it for cosmetic use when identity, purity, certification and applicable use requirements are met. It is not authorised for every route or product area. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal use in a compliant finished cosmetic.

Antioxidant and stabilizer used to protect cosmetic formulas from oxidation. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.

A Colour Index designation associated with certified D&C Red No. 6 and closely related Red No. 7 colour forms used in cosmetics. FDA permits these colours for specified cosmetic uses when identity, purity, batch-certification and use restrictions are met; they are not approved for every route or product area. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal use in a compliant finished cosmetic.

Vitamin C antioxidant used to support brightness and photoprotection; functions as an antioxidant/pH adjuster in cosmetic formulas. No pregnancy-specific contraindications are identified for topical cosmetic use.

Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

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