Ingredients

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

Methylparaben

Medium Risk

Methylparaben is a preservative in the paraben family. Toxicology datasets generally show low acute toxicity; concerns focus on weak endocrine activity observed in some assays, plus aggregate exposure and limited pregnancy-specific outcome data for topical cosmetic use. The medium-risk signal is endocrine-related uncertainty and conservative pregnancy-focused avoidance rather than a clearly demonstrated pregnancy harm at cosmetic exposure levels.

Sources: EU SCCS Opinion on Methylparaben (SCCS/1653/23; sccs_o_276_final.pdf, 2023); CIR: Amended Safety Assessment of Parabens as used in cosmetics (2019).

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.

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.

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.

Water

No Known Risks

Isohexadecane

No Known Risks

Low-viscosity isoparaffin emollient used for slip and lightweight texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of Isoparaffins as Used in Cosmetics / CIR Quick Reference Table (Isohexadecane); EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

Niacinamide

No Known Risks

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is widely used for barrier support and tone/texture benefits, and is generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding when used topically at cosmetic concentrations.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Glycerin

No Known Risks

Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Glutathione

No Known Risks

An antioxidant peptide naturally present in the body and used in topical products for skin conditioning and tone. Clinical studies and systematic reviews report generally good tolerance of topical glutathione, although evidence for cosmetic benefits remains limited. No pregnancy-specific topical signal was identified.

Sodium Hyaluronate

No Known Risks

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid salt) is used for hydration and cushioning, with very low systemic absorption from topical use and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Glycine

No Known Risks

Amino acid used as a humectant and skin/hair-conditioning support ingredient. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of alpha-Amino Acids as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

Cystine

No Known Risks

Sodium PCA

No Known Risks

Natural-moisturising-factor humectant that helps bind water in the stratum corneum. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Sources: CIR: Safety Assessment of PCA and Its Salts as Used in Cosmetics; EU CosIng / cosmetics regulatory inventory

Petrolatum

No Known Risks

Highly refined petrolatum (petroleum jelly) is a skin protectant/occlusive with minimal dermal penetration; safety depends on refining/PAH impurity controls and cosmetic/medical grades meet established standards.

Sources: USP White Petrolatum monograph (2021); Petry et al., Food and Chemical Toxicology (2017); PubMed (dermatology review)

Carbomer

No Known Risks

Polymer thickener used to create gel textures. Large-molecule ingredient with negligible systemic absorption.

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

Sodium Hydroxide

No Known Risks

pH adjuster used in very small quantities to balance formulations. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Sources: Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU); European cosmetics regulatory framework

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

No Known Risks

Polymer thickener and stabiliser used in creams and sunscreens. Low systemic exposure expected.

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

Disodium EDTA

No Known Risks

Disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to improve formula stability and performance; it is considered low concern in topical cosmetic use, with no known pregnancy or breastfeeding risks at typical concentrations.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Titanium Dioxide

No Known Risks

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.

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.
