MediCube Zero Pore SA Clear Capsule Cleansing Foam

Aromatic alpha-hydroxy acid with larger molecular size than glycolic; penetrates more slowly and is less irritating. Topical use in cosmetic-strength peels and serums is generally regarded as low risk in pregnancy, with irritation and photosensitivity as the main concerns when overused.

Willow bark is a salicin-containing botanical material. Its composition and delivered salicylate exposure vary by species, plant part, extraction method and concentration, so a cosmetic extract should not be treated as dose-equivalent to a stated concentration of salicylic acid. MamaSkin retains Low Risk as a conservative family policy for ordinary topical cosmetic use; this does not cover oral willow-bark medicines, concentrated preparations, large-area use or salicylate allergy.

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.

An amino-acid-derived surfactant or conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that amino acid alkyl amides are safe in current cosmetic practices when formulated to be non-irritating. Manufacturing and formulation should control nitrosamine formation where relevant.

An amino-acid-derived surfactant or conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that amino acid alkyl amides are safe in current cosmetic practices when formulated to be non-irritating. Manufacturing and formulation should control nitrosamine formation where relevant.

An amphoteric surfactant used for mild cleansing and foam support. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sultaines, including lauryl hydroxysultaine, are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating and when impurities are controlled. Rare contact allergy remains possible.

This glucose-derived nonionic surfactant or emulsifier is used in cleansers and emulsions. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that alkyl glucosides are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating; sensitive skin can still react to surfactants.

Mild nonionic surfactant used in cleansers and emulsions. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references support normal topical rinse-off and leave-on use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified; sensitive skin may still react to surfactants.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

Sodium chloride is used to adjust viscosity and texture in formulations; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks.

Humectant and preservative booster used to support product stability. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

A modified starch used mainly to thicken and stabilize cosmetic formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that starch phosphates, including hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, are safe in current cosmetic use. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

Mineral absorbent and texture aid used to mattify and improve slip. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical cosmetic use; this assessment does not cover deliberate inhalation of loose powder.

Polymer thickener and stabiliser used in creams and sunscreens. Low systemic exposure expected.

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

A numbered cationic polymer used for hair conditioning, antistatic effects, film formation or formula texture. The Polyquaternium number identifies a distinct polymer, so evidence from one number is not treated as proof for every other number. For this ingredient, no pregnancy, reproductive or breastfeeding hazard signal was identified in the cosmetic-use and substance information reviewed. Its polymeric size makes meaningful absorption through intact skin unlikely; local irritation and control of residual monomers remain formulation-quality considerations.

Starch-derived polysaccharide used as a binder, film former and texture support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

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.

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.

This sugar or sugar alcohol is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support these saccharides in current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical exposure.

Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to improve formula stability and performance; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetic use, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

This sugar or sugar alcohol is used as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic Ingredient Review assessments support these saccharides in current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical exposure.

A small organic acid, salt or ester used as a solvent, pH adjuster or formula aid. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that acetic acid and the assessed related simple alcohols and esters are safe in current practices.

Pigment used to add blue/violet tones in makeup. In typical topical use it has very low dermal absorption and is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays.

Tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E derivative) is used as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient; it is considered low concern in topical use with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at cosmetic concentrations.

A volatile solvent used to improve drying and dissolve other ingredients. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that isopropyl alcohol is safe in current cosmetic practices. The main practical concern is local dryness, stinging or barrier irritation rather than a pregnancy-specific hazard.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract is used as an antioxidant botanical; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks, though rare sensitivities are possible.

A fruit, seed or food-plant extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. No pregnancy-specific signal was identified for the low topical exposure expected from a finished cosmetic. Direct pregnancy studies are generally unavailable, and botanical allergy remains possible.

Kudzu root extract is a botanical skin-conditioning ingredient that may contain isoflavones including puerarin, daidzin and daidzein. Oral supplement exposure is not equivalent to the small amount used topically in a finished cosmetic. No evidence establishing a pregnancy or breastfeeding hazard from normal topical cosmetic use was identified.

pinus pinaster leaf extract is a botanical-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. The reviewed identity is not a concentrated essential oil or an oral herbal preparation. Available cosmetic evidence and expected topical exposure did not identify a pregnancy-specific contraindication, although botanical irritation or allergy remains possible.

An evening-primrose flower extract used for skin conditioning. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Direct ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were not identified, so this assessment does not extend to oral supplements or medicinal use.

A Japanese elm root extract used as a skin-conditioning botanical. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Direct ingredient-specific pregnancy studies were not identified, so this assessment does not extend to oral supplements or medicinal use.
