Palmer's Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks

A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe in current practices of use and concentration. This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.

Highly refined mineral wax used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic-grade microcrystalline wax has minimal skin absorption and no known pregnancy-specific concerns in topical use as intended. Concerns raised online typically relate to unrefined mineral oil impurities or dietary exposure, not cosmetic-grade topical use.

A plant-derived fixed oil, butter or oil extract used as an emollient. Concerns focus on oxidation, irritation and source allergy; no pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical exposure.

Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

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.

cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen is a protein-, enzyme- or hydrolysate-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. Expected systemic exposure from normal topical use is low, and relevant family evidence did not identify a pregnancy-specific concern. Protein allergy and inhalation of loose enzyme or protein powder remain separate considerations.

Argan oil is a plant-derived emollient oil used for skin and hair conditioning. Normal topical cosmetic use has no known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern; users with plant/nut sensitivities should follow personal tolerance.
