Ingredients
Ingredients with a higher risk flag appear first, followed by the rest of the formula.
Dipropylene Glycol
No Known RisksDipropylene glycol is used as a solvent and carrier in cosmetics; topical exposure is low and it has no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Alcohol Denat.
No Known RisksVolatile solvent used to improve texture, drying time, and penetration in some formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; the main practical issue is dryness, stinging, or barrier disruption in some users.

Show all (8)
Ascorbic Acid
No Known RisksVitamin C antioxidant used to support brightness and photoprotection; functions as an antioxidant/pH adjuster in cosmetic formulas. No pregnancy-specific contraindications are identified for topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR (Ascorbic Acid); PubMed (NLM)
Butylene Glycol
No Known RisksSolvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Triethyl Citrate
No Known RisksAn ester of citric acid and ethanol used as a solvent, deodorant ingredient and fragrance carrier. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed triethyl citrate with citric acid, citrate salts and alkyl citrate esters and concluded that the group is safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to avoid irritation. Triethyl citrate is also an established food-use substance, and no pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Phloretin
No Known RisksFerulic Acid
No Known RisksA plant-derived phenolic antioxidant used to stabilise formulas and support photoprotection. Ferulic acid is extensively metabolised after dietary exposure, and normal topical cosmetic use is expected to produce far lower systemic exposure. No pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific hazard signal was identified in the topical and toxicology literature reviewed; irritation remains possible in acidic formulas.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; PubMed literature on topical ferulic acid, dermal delivery and antioxidant use; ECHA substance information for ferulic acid.

How to use this assessment
The risk band is the primary conclusion. The score adds detail within that band and should not be used to compare products as if a one-point difference were clinically meaningful.
MamaSkin provides pregnancy-focused information, not medical advice. Your midwife, GP, pharmacist or dermatologist should take priority when your circumstances differ from typical cosmetic use.
