Is it suitable during pregnancy?
MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for PURITO Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum as Low risk (78/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
Why this rating?
The recorded formula includes 4 ingredient entries with risk flags: Azelaic Acid (Low risk), Coptis Japonica Root Extract (Low risk), Kojic Acid (Low risk), plus others listed in the breakdown. These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
29 of 29 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.

Azelaic Acid
Low risk
Azelaic acid is used topically for acne and pigmentation. MotherToBaby reports that ACOG lists OTC azelaic acid among ingredients that can be used during pregnancy if needed. Product information for 20% azelaic acid states that adequate controlled pregnancy studies are lacking, reports reassuring animal data and estimates about 3.6% absorption after a single topical dose. MamaSkin retains Low Risk while avoiding a categorical “pregnancy-safe” claim.

Coptis Japonica Root Extract
Low risk
Coptis japonica root contains isoquinoline alkaloids including berberine. Oral berberine has limited pregnancy data and precautionary concerns involving uterine activity and bilirubin displacement, while breastfeeding exposure is also discouraged. A cosmetic extract is used topically at much lower exposure and may vary in composition, so MamaSkin applies a precautionary Low Risk classification rather than an oral-supplement-level warning.

Kojic Acid
Low risk
Melanin-inhibiting compound used for pigmentation; topical concentrations ≤1% show minimal systemic absorption. No evidence of reproductive toxicity in humans; animal data limited but non-teratogenic at topical doses. Irritation possible at higher strengths, but no known pregnancy-specific risks.
Sources: SCCS/1637/21: Kojic acid in cosmetic products https://health.ec.europa.eu/publications/kojic-acid_en
Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
Low risk
An exact label variant for tea tree essential oil. The SCCS concluded that tea tree oil is safe only in specific defended adult dermal product types and concentrations, excluded aerosolised and sprayable formats, and identified it as a moderate skin sensitiser. MamaSkin therefore classifies it as low risk because safety is formulation- and route-dependent, not because it is a pregnancy contraindication.

Water
No known risks
Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.

Questions about this assessment
Why does PURITO Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 4 ingredient entries with risk flags: Azelaic Acid (Low risk), Coptis Japonica Root Extract (Low risk), Kojic Acid (Low risk), plus others listed in the breakdown. These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Is this assessment based only on the azelaic acid?
No. Azelaic Acid appears in the recorded ingredient list, but this page shows the finished product's stored assessment and the available ratings for its other ingredients too. An assessment of one headline ingredient does not establish the suitability of every formula containing it.
Has every ingredient in PURITO Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum been assessed?
29 of 29 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.
Does this assessment apply to my PURITO Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum?
Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.
Does this pregnancy assessment also establish breastfeeding suitability?
No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.
