Ingredients
Ingredients with a higher risk flag appear first, followed by the rest of the formula.
Cyclopentasiloxane
No Known RisksSilicone emollient and solvent used to improve slip and spreadability. No known pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern in normal topical cosmetic use based on reviewed cosmetic safety sources. Spray or aerosol formats may warrant extra caution because inhalation/local lung exposure concerns have been raised for those uses.

Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin)
No Known RisksA large hydrogenated hydrocarbon polymer used as an emollient and texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed hydrogenated poly(C6-14 olefin) with cosmetic polyenes and concluded that the group is safe in current practices of use and concentration. Dermal absorption is expected to be limited by molecular size.

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.
