MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask as Low risk (76/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Physalis Angulata Extract (Low risk), Phenoxyethanol (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
33 of 33 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.

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative permitted in EU cosmetics up to 1.0%. The SCCS concluded it is safe for cosmetic use at that level, including when considering higher cosmetic exposure scenarios in infants and young children. Main practical concern is irritation/stinging on very sensitive or compromised skin rather than a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific risk.

In a small rat experiment, oral Physalis angulata leaf extract at 300 mg/kg/day before mating was associated with a 60% pregnancy rate versus 100% in controls (five animals per group). The catalogue name does not specify leaf or this extract, and a separate physalin-rich rat study did not find uterine hypertrophy. Low reflects a limited preparation- and route-dependent fertility signal, not evidence of harm from an ordinary topical cosmetic or an established pregnancy.

No. Niacinamide appears in the recorded formula, but its individual rating applies to that ingredient, not automatically to the whole product. Check the other ingredient ratings, any grey Not assessed entries and the stored product assessment. A niacinamide percentage or a product name is not a substitute for checking the full list.
