Ingredients

Ingredients with a higher risk flag appear first, followed by the rest of the formula.

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.

Dimethicone

Low Risk

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.

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone

Low Risk

A phenyl-substituted silicone used for shine, conditioning and film formation. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded it is safe in current cosmetic use but found insufficient evidence for products that may be incidentally inhaled. MamaSkin classifies it as low risk because of that route-specific evidence gap, not because of a known pregnancy-specific concern from ordinary topical use.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Phenyl-Substituted Methicones (Final Report 2023) https://www.cir-safety.org/sites/default/files/QRT-Update-Dec2025.pdf

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Low Risk

A high-molecular-weight silicone polyether used for emulsification, texture and film formation. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that dimethicone crosspolymers are safe in current cosmetic use, and absorption of the intact polymer is expected to be limited. MamaSkin classifies this ingredient as low risk for consistency with its established dimethicone-family policy and because cosmetic-grade manufacturing should control residual starting materials, not because of a known pregnancy-specific contraindication.

CI 77891

No Known Risks

Colour Index name for titanium dioxide. Used as a 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 (E171) or inhalation from fine powders/sprays, and to 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.

Sources: EFSA opinion on titanium dioxide (E171) ingestion context; SCCS cosmetic opinions (incl. inhalation/nano considerations); general dermatology guidance on mineral sunscreens in pregnancy.

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.
