Umbrella term for an undisclosed fragrance blend. It’s not usually a pregnancy-specific concern at normal cosmetic use levels, but the exact components and concentrations aren’t fully disclosed on the label, so we score it more conservatively. If you prefer maximum transparency (or you’re sensitive to fragrance compounds), choose fragrance-free/unscented products.

DNA-derived cosmetic ingredient/label term used in topical PDRN or polynucleotide-style skincare. Topical cosmetic use is not currently treated as a known pregnancy-restricted concern, but pregnancy-specific clinical data remain limited. MamaSkin scores this conservatively as low risk to reflect the evidence gap. This assessment applies to topical cosmetic products only and does not apply to injectable or in-clinic PDRN/polynucleotide treatments. Always review co-ingredients such as retinoids, hydroquinone, high-strength acids or other pregnancy-restricted actives separately.

Garlic bulb is a food-derived botanical, but topical extract may irritate; exclude oral medicinal doses and damaged skin. Direct pregnancy studies of this exact material are limited; this assessment does not cover ingestion, medicinal-strength use, damaged skin, or aerosol exposure.
An oat kernel extract used for skin conditioning and soothing. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Avena sativa kernel extract and most assessed oat-derived ingredients are safe in current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-sensitising and manufactured with appropriate impurity controls.

camellia sinensis seed extract is a defined non-essential-oil botanical, food-derived or algae cosmetic ingredient. The reviewed identity and expected low topical exposure did not identify a pregnancy-specific reproductive or developmental concern. This classification does not extend to oral medicinal use, concentrated essential oils or contaminated raw materials, and botanical sensitivity remains possible.

Salmon-egg extract contains nutrient proteins and lipids, with adult testing supporting tolerability of diluted skin formulations. Fish allergy remains relevant, and injectable DNA or peptide preparations are not covered. Ordinary diluted use on intact external skin is expected to produce low systemic exposure, with no identified pregnancy-specific concern for that preparation. This exposure-based conclusion does not mean pregnancy safety has been proven.
A botanical extract, juice or water used primarily for skin conditioning, moisturising, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of the named cosmetic material were not identified.
