Highly refined hydrocarbon wax used as an occlusive/thickener. Cosmetic-grade paraffin has minimal skin absorption and no known pregnancy-specific concerns in topical use as intended. Concerns raised online typically relate to unrefined mineral oil impurities or dietary exposure, not cosmetic-grade topical use.

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.
