MamaSkin rates the recorded formula for Supergoop! Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 as Low risk (78/100). Review the ingredient context and any manual-review explanation before deciding.
The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Dimethicone (Low risk), Dimethicone Crosspolymer (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail.
18 of 18 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.

Dimethicone is a silicone polymer used as a skin protectant and slip/conditioning agent. It is considered inert with minimal dermal absorption; the main practical issues are cosmetic (feel) and occasional irritation in very sensitive users. It is not a pregnancy-specific concern in topical cosmetic use.

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.

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.
Sources: General dermatology/obstetric guidance commonly lists mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide) as acceptable in pregnancy; exposure route considerations for powders/sprays.
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.

Common emollient derived from fatty acids and glycerin. Used to soften skin and improve texture without pregnancy-specific concerns.

No pregnancy-specific harm has been identified for ordinary, correctly formulated topical cosmetic use of methyl dihydroabietate. This is a bounded defined cosmetic chemical assessment; direct pregnancy studies of the exact material are limited and oral, medicinal, damaged-skin or aerosol exposure is not included.
Polymeric dispersing agent used to keep pigments and mineral filters evenly suspended. Low systemic exposure is expected from topical cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern identified.

A purified hydrocarbon emollient or volatile carrier used for slip and light texture. Related cosmetic hydrocarbon and isoparaffin assessments support use in current practices. Normal dermal exposure is not associated with a pregnancy-specific signal; volatile products should be used with ordinary ventilation.

Preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure when used as intended.

Coconut-derived emollient ester used as a lightweight skin-conditioning ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

Mineral absorbent and texture aid used to mattify and improve slip. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical cosmetic use; this assessment does not cover deliberate inhalation of loose powder.

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.

For ordinary topical cosmetic use, no pregnancy-specific harm has been established for hedychium coronarium root extract. Root extract distinct from leaf/rhizome volatile preparations. Hedychium rhizome/leaf aromatic-extract study tests cosmetic-relevant irritation but does not resolve this root extract's composition or pregnancy safety. Direct human gestational studies and finished-product constituent levels are limited; oral, medicinal, and concentrated preparations are not covered.
Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

A botanical extract, juice or water used primarily for skin conditioning, moisturising, soothing or antioxidant support. Direct pregnancy studies of the named cosmetic material were not identified. No reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure to a compliant finished cosmetic; oral herbal or medicinal use is outside this classification.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; Cosmetic Ingredient Review botanical safety-assessment framework and relevant plant-family assessments. No ingredient-specific human pregnancy study of normal topical cosmetic use was identified.
Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Dimethicone (Low risk), Dimethicone Crosspolymer (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
No. The score and risk band describe MamaSkin's pregnancy-focused ingredient screening of this recorded formula. They do not measure SPF, UVA protection, water resistance or whether you have applied enough sunscreen. Use the protection and application instructions on your exact packaging, and review the ingredient flags separately.
18 of 18 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.
Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.
No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.
