SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus SPF50+ PA+++

This ingredient is a dimethicone crosspolymer covered by CIR's crosspolymer assessment. CIR concluded the reviewed crosspolymers safe as used in cosmetics. That conclusion is based on polymer chemistry and cosmetic-use safety data, not human pregnancy studies for every named crosspolymer. MamaSkin retains Low Risk; finished-product irritation remains formulation-dependent.

A crosslinked silicone elastomer used for texture and oil absorption. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dimethicone crosspolymers are safe in current cosmetic use. MamaSkin classifies the exact polymer as low risk for consistency with the existing dimethicone-family policy and because manufacturing controls are needed for residual monomers, rather than because of a known pregnancy-specific contraindication.

Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, also called Japanese knotweed root extract, is a botanical source of resveratrol, polydatin and related polyphenols. Extract composition and cosmetic concentration vary, and normal topical exposure is expected to be much lower than high-dose oral supplementation. MamaSkin applies a precautionary Low Risk classification for consistency with its existing topical resveratrol policy, not because cosmetic use is a known pregnancy contraindication.

Pregnancy concerns around licorice are based mainly on high oral glycyrrhizin intake, which has been linked to shorter gestation and cortisol-related effects in offspring; by contrast, licorice root extracts have been assessed as safe as used in cosmetics, so routine topical skincare exposure fits a cautious low-risk classification.

Butyloctyl salicylate is a salicylate ester that the CIR panel considered safe as used in cosmetics when formulated to be non-irritating. Available safety data support low dermal toxicity, and at typical cosmetic use levels the expected systemic salicylate exposure from topical application is far below oral salicylate exposure, which fits a low-risk classification.

Botanical skin-conditioning ingredient used in soothing and barrier-support formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-sensitising, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

Silicone emollient and solvent used to improve slip and spreadability. No known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern in normal topical cosmetic use based on reviewed cosmetic safety sources. Spray or aerosol formats may warrant extra caution because inhalation/local lung exposure concerns have been raised for those uses.

Mineral ingredient used as a UV filter and skin protectant in many creams and mineral sunscreens. For typical topical use, systemic absorption is very low and it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or spray formats.

Inorganic mineral pigment and, in some products, a mineral UV filter. For typical topical use in creams, lotions and makeup, systemic absorption is expected to be very low. Most concerns discussed in the literature relate to ingestion (food additive E171) or inhalation exposure from fine powders/sprays, and to specific nanoparticle characterisation. For routine topical cosmetic use, it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding; if you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or sprays.

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

Benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol is a formulation stabiliser and antioxidant used to protect cosmetic products from light-related degradation. It is not the particulate sunscreen filter bisoctrizole. No pregnancy-specific hazard was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is widely used for barrier support and tone/texture benefits, and is generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding when used topically at cosmetic concentrations.

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.

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

Inorganic salt used as a viscosity-control, bulking or stabilizing ingredient in cosmetics. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

1,2-Hexanediol is commonly used as a solvent and preservative booster; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations, though very sensitive skin may occasionally react.

A cosmetic ester or glyceride used mainly for emollience, texture, dispersion or emulsification. The relevant fatty-acid, glyceryl, sorbitan, polyglyceryl and related ester safety assessments support use in current cosmetic practices. No pregnancy-specific hazard signal was identified for normal topical exposure; local irritation remains formulation-dependent.

A vinylpyrrolidone copolymer used for film formation, hold and texture. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that VP/hexadecene copolymer is safe in current cosmetic practices. Dermal absorption of the intact high-molecular-weight polymer is expected to be limited.

A silicone resin used as a film former, texture enhancer and opacifying ingredient in makeup, sunscreen and skin care. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that polysilsesquioxanes including Polymethylsilsesquioxane are safe in current cosmetic use. Available evidence does not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Mineral opacifier, absorbent and pigment-coating ingredient used in makeup, sunscreens and skin care. Low systemic exposure is expected from normal topical cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

Stearic acid is a fatty acid used to stabilise emulsions and improve texture; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetics with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

A sorbitan fatty-acid ester used as an emulsifier and surfactant. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sorbitan esters are safe in current cosmetic practices of use. Sorbitan sesquioleate can occasionally cause contact allergy and has produced reactions in a small proportion of people investigated for dermatitis, so this classification does not mean that sensitive skin cannot react. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Silane coating and dispersion aid used on pigments and mineral particles. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Starch-derived polysaccharide used as a binder, film former and texture support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

A fruit, seed or food-plant extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support. No pregnancy-specific signal was identified for the low topical exposure expected from a finished cosmetic. Direct pregnancy studies are generally unavailable, and botanical allergy remains possible.

Geranium oil is used in cosmetics mainly as a fragrance botanical. Direct pregnancy-specific data are sparse, but no clear pregnancy-specific dermal harm signal has been established for routine diluted cosmetic use. This assessment does not cover concentrated essential-oil use, ingestion, or non-cosmetic therapeutic exposure. The more relevant practical issues are fragrance sensitisation and local irritation, so within this methodology it remains in 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.

Bergamot essential oil used mainly for fragrance. No pregnancy-specific hazard is established for normal topical cosmetic exposure. Expressed bergamot oil can be phototoxic unless furocoumarins are controlled, so sun-exposed use should follow the finished product directions and applicable fragrance standards.

Betaine is a humectant/osmolyte used to support hydration and reduce irritation potential in formulas; it is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks in topical cosmetic use.

A Chinese skullcap root extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant effects. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the root extract is safe in current practices of use and concentration; this conclusion does not extend to the generic whole-plant or sprout extracts, for which evidence was insufficient. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract is used as an antioxidant botanical; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks, though rare sensitivities are possible.

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.

Plant extract used for antioxidant or soothing properties. Unlike essential oils, cosmetic extracts are not highly concentrated and are used at low levels. Safety concerns associated with essential oil use do not generally apply to cosmetic extracts.

A German chamomile flower extract used for skin conditioning and soothing. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Chamomilla recutita flower-derived ingredients are safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to be non-sensitizing. Chamomile can cause contact allergy in susceptible people, particularly those sensitive to plants in the Asteraceae family, but no pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Rose flower oil is a concentrated fragrance botanical. At normal cosmetic topical use levels, there is no established pregnancy-specific concern. The more relevant issues are irritation and sensitisation from fragrance constituents, which this methodology does not treat as a pregnancy-specific risk.

Humectant and preservative booster. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure.

A triterpene glycoside associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical madecassoside is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but noted that madecassoside and related triterpenes may contribute to sensitisation, so products should be formulated to avoid sensitising concentrations. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

A rose-like fragrance ingredient that occurs naturally in many essential oils and may also be manufactured. Its main cosmetic concern is contact allergy in susceptible users; no pregnancy-specific hazard is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

A floral fragrance ingredient found in several essential oils and also used in manufactured form. It is a recognised contact allergen, but no pregnancy-specific hazard is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.
