Skintific 5x Ceramide Barrier Repair Moisturize Gel

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

Polymer thickener used to create gel textures. Large-molecule ingredient with negligible systemic absorption.

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.

Skin-identical barrier lipid used to support barrier function and reduce dryness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

A skin-identical barrier lipid used for skin and hair conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Ceramide AS is safe in current cosmetic use, noting limited skin absorption and reassuring toxicity data. Cosmetic-grade material should not be sourced from bovine central nervous system tissue.

Skin-identical barrier lipid used to support barrier structure and reduce dryness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Skin-identical barrier lipid used to support the stratum corneum and reduce dryness. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

A skin-identical barrier lipid used for skin and hair conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that Ceramide NS is safe in current cosmetic use, noting limited skin absorption and reassuring toxicity data. Cosmetic-grade material should not be sourced from bovine central nervous system tissue.

A volatile botanical material used mainly for fragrance or skin conditioning. Irritation, sensitisation, constituent quality and, for some citrus materials, phototoxicity are the relevant cosmetic concerns. No pregnancy-specific systemic hazard was identified for normal topical use of a compliant finished cosmetic.

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.

Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to improve formula stability and performance; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetic use, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

A small natural osmolyte used to support hydration and the skin barrier. A systematic review of topical ectoin formulations in adults and children reported very good tolerability. Pregnancy-specific topical studies were not identified, but no reproductive or pregnancy-specific signal was found for normal cosmetic exposure.

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.

A witch-hazel extract or distillate used as a skin-conditioning and astringent ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed Hamamelis virginiana-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitising. Some witch-hazel products contain alcohol, which may irritate sensitive skin.

Hydrogenated emulsifier used to support skin barrier feel. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Inert synthetic emollient used as a glossing and occlusive agent. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Protein-derived skin- and hair-conditioning ingredient used to support feel and hydration at the surface. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

Hydroxyacetophenone is used as an antioxidant and preservative-support ingredient; it is generally considered low concern in topical cosmetic use with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

Large polymer thickener, stabilizer and texture ingredient used in gels, creams and sunscreens. Systemic exposure from topical cosmetic use is expected to be low, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified in reviewed cosmetic references.

A botanical extract or plant water used for conditioning, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of this exact cosmetic material were not identified, but no reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure. Oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.

A cosmetic extract from an edible fruit, seed, grain, root or mushroom used for conditioning or antioxidant support. Normal topical cosmetic exposure is much lower than ordinary dietary exposure to the source material, and no pregnancy-specific hazard signal was identified. Exact extract composition varies, so source quality and individual food or plant allergy remain relevant.

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.

Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, a natural-moisturising-factor component used as a humectant. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that PCA and its salts are safe in current practices, but they should not be used in formulations where N-nitroso compounds can form. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for compliant topical use.

peg-400 is a cosmetic polymer or polymeric formulation aid. The reviewed material is distinct from any free reactive monomers; systemic dermal absorption is expected to be limited by molecular size when manufactured with appropriate impurity controls. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal cosmetic use, although products should be formulated to avoid irritation.

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

An amino-acid-derived emollient and conditioning ingredient. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed amino acid alkyl amides are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-irritating.

Nonionic emulsifier and solubilizer used to help oil and water phases mix. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified.

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.

pH adjuster used in very small quantities to balance formulations. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Sophora flavescens root extract contains variable botanical alkaloids and is used for skin conditioning. Pharmacological and toxicity findings from oral extracts or isolated constituents do not establish a reproductive hazard from normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Emulsifier used to help oil and water phases remain mixed. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support topical use in cosmetics; the main practical issue is irritation potential in some formulas rather than a pregnancy-specific concern.

Lightweight emollient used to support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

A volatile solvent and denaturant used in small amounts in cosmetics. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that t-butyl alcohol is safe in current practices of use and concentration; their assessment included reproductive and developmental data and found a large exposure margin at cosmetic use levels.
