Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

An ester of polyglycerin-3 and ricinoleic acid used as an emollient and emulsifier. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed polyglyceryl fatty acid esters, including this ingredient, as safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

A manufactured wax used for structure and emolliency without relying on natural bee-derived material. Cosmetic safety reviewers reaffirmed synthetic beeswax as safe in current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified for normal topical exposure.

Mineral-derived organoclay thickener and suspension agent used in creams, makeup and sunscreens. It is expected to have low systemic exposure from topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) is used for soothing and barrier support and is generally well tolerated, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

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.

A ginger root extract used mainly for skin conditioning and fragrance support. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Zingiber officinale root-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising. This topical cosmetic conclusion should not be read as advice about ingesting concentrated ginger supplements.

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.

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.

A terpene alcohol used for skin conditioning and soothing. Cosmetic safety reviewers reaffirmed bisabolol as safe at current cosmetic concentrations, and reproductive and developmental testing did not identify adverse effects. Bisabolol can increase skin penetration, so formulators should consider the safety of other ingredients in the same product.
