Ingredient ratings and evidence

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.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

Low risk

This parenthetical INCI form is licorice root extract. High oral glycyrrhizin exposure is discouraged during pregnancy, while cosmetic licorice extracts are used topically at much lower exposure. Low Risk keeps the exact label string consistent with MamaSkin's existing Glycyrrhiza glabra root-extract policy.

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.

Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin

No known risks

A plant-derived carbohydrate polymer or modified starch used to thicken, stabilise or condition a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the supported plant polysaccharide gums and derivatives are safe in current practices of use and concentration. Loose powders should still be used without deliberately inhaling airborne particles.

Disodium Phosphate

No known risks

An inorganic phosphate salt used mainly to buffer or adjust the pH of a formula. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that phosphoric acid and its simple salts, including disodium phosphate, are safe in current cosmetic use when products are formulated to avoid irritation. No pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical exposure.

Questions about this assessment

Why does SKIN1004 Azelaic Acid 10 Ampoule have a Low risk rating?

The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Azelaic Acid (Low risk), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (Low risk). 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 SKIN1004 Azelaic Acid 10 Ampoule been assessed?

27 of 27 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 SKIN1004 Azelaic Acid 10 Ampoule?

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.
