Ingredient ratings and evidence
Higher-risk flags first. Open an ingredient for evidence.
Parfum
Low risk
Umbrella term for an undisclosed fragrance blend. It’s not usually a pregnancy-specific concern at normal cosmetic use levels, but the exact components and concentrations aren’t fully disclosed on the label, so we score it more conservatively. If you prefer maximum transparency (or you’re sensitive to fragrance compounds), choose fragrance-free/unscented products.

Phenoxyethanol
Low risk
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.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
No known risks
Lightweight emollient ester used to improve slip and skin feel. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical cosmetic use.
Sources: CIR cosmetic ingredient safety references for alkyl esters/emollient esters; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory
Oryza Sativa Bran Oil
No known risks
This plant-derived fatty oil or butter is used as an emollient and skin-conditioning ingredient. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe as used in cosmetics; individual plant allergy and ingredient purity remain practical considerations.

Polyglyceryl-10 Dioleate
No known risks
polyglyceryl-10 dioleate is a cosmetic emollient, ester or lipid-derived formulation aid. Relevant family evidence supports normal cosmetic use with irritation, sensitisation and purity qualifications retained where applicable. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for ordinary topical exposure.

Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquicaprylate
No known risks
Polyglyceryl-2 Sesquicaprylate: A polyglyceryl fatty-acid ester included in CIR's assessment for non-irritating cosmetic formulations. Class-level evidence supports this use, not direct human pregnancy evidence for every numbered ester. This finding does not extend to its unmodified plant extract or isolated starting materials. No pregnancy-specific harm has been identified for ordinary topical cosmetic use; direct human pregnancy data are limited.

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
No known risks
This plant-derived fatty oil or butter is used as an emollient and skin-conditioning ingredient. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review concluded that assessed plant-derived fatty acid oils are safe as used in cosmetics; individual plant allergy and ingredient purity remain practical considerations.

Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate
No known risks
A fermentation-derived cosmetic ingredient used for conditioning or formula support. Composition depends on the organism, substrate and manufacturing controls. No pregnancy-specific reproductive or developmental hazard was identified for normal topical exposure; ingestion is outside this classification.
Sources: European Commission CosIng ingredient inventory; CIR safety framework for microbial, fermentation-derived and biological-source cosmetic ingredients.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
No known risks
Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract is used as an antioxidant botanical; topical cosmetic use is considered low concern with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks, though rare sensitivities are possible.
Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation
Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract
No known risks
The CIR quick-reference record identifies the exact brown-algae extract as safe under its final assessment.
Sources: https://cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/QRT-Update-Dec2025.pdf
Water
No known risks
Water (Aqua) is the standard purified water used as a cosmetic solvent. It has no pregnancy-specific risk in normal topical use.

Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate
No known risks
A cosmetic ester or glyceride used mainly for emollience, texture, dispersion or emulsification. The relevant fatty-acid, glyceryl, sorbitan, polyglyceryl and related ester safety assessments support use in current cosmetic practices. No pregnancy-specific hazard signal was identified for normal topical exposure; local irritation remains formulation-dependent.

Propanediol
No known risks
Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Tocopherol
No known risks
Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.
Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)
Ethylhexylglycerin
No known risks
Preservative booster and skin-conditioning agent. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure when used as intended.
Sources: Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU); Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US)
Limonene
No known risks
Limonene is a common fragrance component used at low levels in cosmetics; it is not a pregnancy-specific concern in topical use, but it is a recognised fragrance allergen and may trigger irritation or sensitisation in some people, especially if the product oxidises over time.
Sources: EU/UK cosmetics (fragrance allergen labelling); IFRA; toxicology reviews
Citral
No known risks
A lemon-scented mixture of the aldehydes geranial and neral used in fragrance. Citral is a recognised skin sensitiser, but current cosmetic concerns relate to allergy and concentration rather than a pregnancy-specific hazard from normal topical use.

Questions about this assessment
Why does Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Parfum (Low risk), Phenoxyethanol (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.
Has every ingredient in Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil been assessed?
17 of 17 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.
Does this assessment apply to my Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil?
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.
Does this pregnancy assessment also establish breastfeeding suitability?
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.
