Is Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer suitable during pregnancy?

MamaSkin currently classifies Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer as Low risk, with a stored score of 71/100. This is a precautionary classification, not an unqualified pregnancy-safe recommendation. Read the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation below.

What does the ingredient evidence show?

The recorded formula includes 6 ingredient entries with risk flags: Dimethicone (Low risk), Dimethicone Crosspolymer (Low risk), PEG-10 Dimethicone (Low risk), plus others listed in the breakdown. These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.

38 of 38 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.

Ingredients

Ingredients with a higher risk flag appear first, followed by the rest of the formula.

Phenoxyethanol

Low Risk

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative permitted in EU cosmetics up to 1.0%. The SCCS concluded it is safe for cosmetic use at that level, including when considering higher cosmetic exposure scenarios in infants and young children. Main practical concern is irritation/stinging on very sensitive or compromised skin rather than a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific risk.

Sources: SCCS/1575/16: Phenoxyethanol opinion https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/phenoxyethanol_en

Dimethicone

Low Risk

Dimethicone is a silicone polymer used as a skin protectant and slip/conditioning agent. It is considered inert with minimal dermal absorption; the main practical issues are cosmetic (feel) and occasional irritation in very sensitive users. It is not a pregnancy-specific concern in topical cosmetic use.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Low Risk

This ingredient is a dimethicone crosspolymer covered by CIR's crosspolymer assessment. CIR concluded the reviewed crosspolymers safe as used in cosmetics. That conclusion is based on polymer chemistry and cosmetic-use safety data, not human pregnancy studies for every named crosspolymer. MamaSkin retains Low Risk; finished-product irritation remains formulation-dependent.

PEG-10 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.

Sources: CIR: Dimethicone and substituted-methicone polymer assessment https://cir-safety.org/supplementaldoc/safety-assessment-dimethicone-methicone-and-substituted-methicone-polymers-used-cosm

Lactic Acid

Low Risk

Endogenous alpha-hydroxy acid and humectant; at modest cosmetic concentrations (≈5% and below, and generally <10%) topical lactic acid is considered compatible with pregnancy. Main risks are local irritation and increased photosensitivity rather than systemic toxicity or fetal effects.

Sources: MotherToBaby: Topical acne treatments in pregnancy and breastfeeding https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582985/

Chrysin

Low Risk

Chrysin inhibits aromatase in vitro, but meaningful systemic endocrine activity is uncertain because bioavailability is poor and an in-vivo study did not reproduce the expected effect. Pregnancy-specific topical data are absent, so MamaSkin applies Low Risk for theoretical uncertainty.

Sources: Review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32181408/; in-vivo study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11595503/.

Water

CI 77891

No Known Risks

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.

CI 77491

No Known Risks

Colour Index for iron oxides (red). Used as an insoluble mineral pigment in makeup and tinted skincare. Very low dermal absorption in typical topical use and generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays if you prefer a cautious approach.

Sources: General cosmetic ingredient safety references for insoluble mineral pigments; exposure route considerations for powders/sprays.

CI 77492

No Known Risks

Colour Index for iron oxides (yellow). Used as an insoluble mineral pigment in makeup and tinted skincare. Very low dermal absorption in typical topical use and generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays if you prefer a cautious approach.

Sources: General cosmetic ingredient safety references for insoluble mineral pigments; exposure route considerations for powders/sprays.

CI 77499

Questions about this assessment

Has every ingredient in Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer been assessed?

38 of 38 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 the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer I have?

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.

How to use this assessment

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.
