Ingredient ratings and evidence
Higher-risk flags first. Open an ingredient for evidence.
Hydrogen Dimethicone
Low risk
This ingredient is a silicone polymer documented within CIR's broader dimethicone and substituted-methicone family assessment. CIR concluded the reviewed ingredients safe as used when formulated to be non-irritating to skin and eyes. This is family-level cosmetic evidence, not ingredient-specific human pregnancy evidence for every derivative. MamaSkin therefore retains Low Risk without claiming negligible absorption for this individual ingredient.

2-Aminobutanol
Not assessed
No matched ingredient rating is available yet. Not assessed does not mean safe or unsafe.
Water
No known risks
Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
No known risks
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.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Zinc Oxide
No known risks
Mineral ingredient used as a UV filter and skin protectant in many creams and mineral sunscreens. For typical topical use, systemic absorption is very low and it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or spray formats.
Sources: General dermatology/obstetric guidance commonly lists mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide) as acceptable in pregnancy; exposure route considerations for powders/sprays.

Isopropyl Myristate
No known risks
This emollient ester improves slip and skin feel. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support use in current cosmetic concentrations when formulated to be non-irritating; topical use is not identified as a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern. Some alkyl esters can increase penetration of other formula ingredients.
Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Alkyl Esters as Used in Cosmetics https://cir-safety.org/supplementaldoc/safety-assessment-alkyl-esters-used-cosmetics
Cetyl Alcohol
No known risks
Fatty alcohol used to improve texture and skin feel. Considered safe for cosmetic use without pregnancy-specific concerns.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Glycerin
No known risks
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.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Glyceryl Stearate Se
No known risks
Self-emulsifying form of glyceryl stearate used to stabilize creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified.
Sources: CIR cosmetic ingredient safety references for glyceryl stearate and self-emulsifying emulsifiers; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory
Titanium Dioxide
No known risks
Inorganic mineral 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 (food additive E171) or inhalation exposure from fine powders/sprays, and to specific 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.

Butylene Glycol
No known risks
Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
PEG-100 Stearate
No known risks
Emulsifier used to stabilize creams and lotions. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support use of PEG stearates in cosmetics, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical use.

Hydrated Silica
No known risks
A synthetically manufactured amorphous silica used for absorbency, texture and thickening. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that hydrated silica is safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating. Loose powders should still be used without deliberately inhaling airborne particles.

For ordinary, correctly formulated topical cosmetic use, no pregnancy-specific harm has been identified for ethyl lauroyl arginate hcl. Ethyl lauroyl arginate is assessed only within the cosmetic product categories and concentrations accepted by SCCS; other routes are not covered. Direct pregnancy studies of this exact material are limited; this assessment does not cover ingestion, medicinal-strength use, damaged skin, or aerosol exposure.
Citric Acid
No known risks
pH adjuster used in small amounts to maintain product stability. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.
Sources: Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU); European cosmetics regulatory framework

Questions about this assessment
Why does Mama’s Choice Daily Protection Face Moisturizer SPF 20 PA++ have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 1 ingredient entry with a risk flag: Hydrogen Dimethicone (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. Incomplete ingredient documentation does not establish safety; see the coverage answer and grey entries below.
Is the MamaSkin score a measure of SPF or sun protection?
No. The score and risk band describe MamaSkin's pregnancy-focused ingredient screening of this recorded formula. They do not measure SPF, UVA protection, water resistance or whether you have applied enough sunscreen. Use the protection and application instructions on your exact packaging, and review the ingredient flags separately.
Has every ingredient in Mama’s Choice Daily Protection Face Moisturizer SPF 20 PA++ been assessed?
22 of 23 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. 1 entry does not have all of those fields. Unmatched or unrated entries are marked Not assessed in grey; missing evidence does not establish safety.
Does this assessment apply to my Mama’s Choice Daily Protection Face Moisturizer SPF 20 PA++?
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.
