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.

Mild amphoteric surfactant used in cleansers and shampoos to boost foam and reduce harshness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support present cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified; the main practical caveat is irritation or allergy in some users, sometimes linked to sensitising impurities.

A mild amphoteric cleansing surfactant. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that disodium cocoamphodiacetate is safe as used; the original conclusion was reaffirmed on re-review, while the current group reassessment proposes non-sensitising formulation controls. Impurities may contribute to occasional irritation or allergy.

A plant-derived polysaccharide used for conditioning and formula texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers included inulin 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 exposure.

Finely milled oat kernel material used for soothing, absorbency and skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Avena sativa kernel flour is safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. People with oat sensitivity may still react, and loose powder should not be deliberately inhaled.

A sugar-derived humectant or starch hydrolysate used to retain moisture and support formula texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed saccharide humectants and hydrogenated starch hydrolysate are safe in current practices. Dermal absorption of larger carbohydrate materials is expected to be limited.

A large cationic cellulose polymer used to condition hair and improve product texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Polyquaternium-10 is safe in current cosmetic use; human testing did not indicate irritation or sensitization at reviewed concentrations. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.
