Modern broad-spectrum UV filter (often known as Tinosorb S). It has a high molecular weight and is formulated to remain mainly in the outer skin layers, with very low systemic absorption at cosmetic use levels. EU regulatory assessments and independent risk–benefit reviews have evaluated this filter as safe up to 10% in sunscreens, with no specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals identified in animals or humans at permitted concentrations.

Sources: European Union Cosmetic Products Regulation (Annex VI): Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine listed as an approved UV filter up to 10% in cosmetic products. Mikkelsen SH et al. “Survey and health assessment of UV filters” – Danish EPA, 2015: includes Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and notes low systemic exposure at approved use levels.

Hybrid particulate UV filter (often referred to as Tinosorb M or Bisoctrizole). It behaves more like an inorganic, microfine filter, forming a film on the skin surface with minimal percutaneous absorption. EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) opinions on both conventional and nano forms support its safe use in dermally applied cosmetic products up to 10% under current conditions of use, with main caution relating to inhalation of spray products rather than systemic toxicity from normal topical application.

Sources: SCCS opinions on Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (MBBT), including SCCS/1460/11 and SCCS/1546/15: conclude that MBBT used as a UV filter up to 10% in dermal cosmetic products is safe under the evaluated conditions of use. European Commission, revision opinion on Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (nano form), 2015: confirms safety of nano MBBT up to 10% in dermally applied cosmetics when used according to specified conditions

A high-molecular-weight acrylate polymer used as a film former and texture modifier. Its high molecular weight limits meaningful skin penetration. No reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; Cosmetic Ingredient Review botanical safety-assessment framework and relevant ingredient-family assessments. No ingredient-specific human pregnancy study of normal topical cosmetic use was identified.

An emulsifier built from polyglycerin, methyl glucose and stearic-acid components, used to stabilise creams and improve texture. Exact pregnancy-specific data are limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that related methyl glucose esters and polyglyceryl fatty-acid esters are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific topical concern was identified by applying those related-group assessments to ordinary cosmetic exposure.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise cosmetics. CIR included Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2 in the acrylates-copolymer safe-as-used conclusion when formulated to be non-irritating. This conclusion concerns the finished polymer with appropriate residual-monomer controls, not free acrylate monomers; no pregnancy-specific topical concern was identified.
