Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum

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

A water-soluble vitamin C derivative used as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sodium ascorbyl phosphate and the reviewed ascorbates are safe in cosmetic use and later reaffirmed that conclusion after reviewing updated use and safety data. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

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.

An antioxidant peptide naturally present in the body and used in topical products for skin conditioning and tone. Clinical studies and systematic reviews report generally good tolerance of topical glutathione, although evidence for cosmetic benefits remains limited. No pregnancy-specific topical signal was identified.

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.

A papaya fruit extract used for skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Carica papaya fruit and fruit-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic practices; this conclusion does not extend to papaya leaf extract, for which the available evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

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. No reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure to a compliant finished cosmetic; oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.

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.

Aloe barbadensis leaf juice is commonly used for soothing and hydration; topical use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks, although rare sensitivities can occur.

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid salt) is used for hydration and cushioning, with very low systemic absorption from topical use and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Polymer thickener used to create gel textures. Large-molecule ingredient with negligible systemic absorption.

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.

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

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

Cellulose-derived thickener used to build viscosity and improve texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

pH adjuster used in very small quantities to balance formulations. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Film-forming polysaccharide used for soothing and hydration support. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Preservative widely used in foods and cosmetics. Considered safe at regulated concentrations with low systemic exposure from topical use.

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility in topical cosmetics. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

Sugar alcohol humectant used to help maintain water content at the skin surface. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Natural polysaccharide thickener used for stability and texture. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

A seaweed-derived polysaccharide used as a thickener and stabiliser. Cosmetic safety reviewers included algin in the plant polysaccharide gums group and concluded that the group is safe in current practices of use and concentration. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic use.

Preservative acid used to help control microbial growth and support formula stability. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; some users may still notice local irritation or stinging, especially on compromised skin.

Preservative acid used to help protect products from yeast, mould, and some bacteria. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; some users may still notice local irritation or stinging, especially on reactive skin.

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.

Preservative widely used in foods and cosmetics. Considered safe at regulated concentrations with low systemic exposure from topical use.

An inorganic phosphate salt used mainly to buffer or adjust the pH of a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that phosphoric acid and its simple salts, including disodium phosphate, are safe in current cosmetic use when products are formulated to avoid irritation. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

An insoluble mineral or elemental particle used for optical effects, absorbency or cosmetic texture. Meaningful systemic exposure through intact skin is expected to be low. No pregnancy- or reproductive-toxicity signal was identified for normal topical cosmetic use. Particle size, source purity, metal impurities and inhalation of airborne powder remain formulation-specific considerations, and local contact allergy is possible with gold.

Nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer used to help oil and water phases mix. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified.
