A film-forming vinyl polymer used for water resistance and product hold. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that vinylpyrrolidone polymers, including VP/eicosene copolymer, are safe in current practices when residual monomers are appropriately controlled. Rare contact allergy has been reported with this ingredient family.

A high-molecular-weight silicone polymer used for film forming, smoothing and skin or hair conditioning. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that Dimethiconol and its assessed derivatives are safe in current cosmetic use. Its polymeric nature limits skin penetration, and available evidence does not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical exposure.

A small siloxane used as a spreading and wetting agent. Available cosmetic silicone assessments do not identify a pregnancy-specific concern for normal dermal exposure. Volatile or spray products should be used with ordinary ventilation.

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.

An insoluble aluminum oxide mineral used as an absorbent, abrasive, bulking agent and surface treatment. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that alumina is safe in current cosmetic use. Normal topical exposure does not identify a pregnancy-specific concern; avoid deliberately inhaling loose powders or airbrush products.

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers and concluded that they are safe in current cosmetic practices. Absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited, with residual monomers controlled during manufacture.
