Ingredient ratings and evidence

Lanolin

Waxy emollient/occlusive derived from wool lipids. Commonly used to support skin barrier and relieve dryness; no pregnancy-specific contraindications are identified for topical cosmetic use.

Sources: CIR (Lanolin & lanolin-derived ingredients); LactMed (NCBI)

Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil

No known risks

A plant-derived fatty oil or butter used mainly as an emollient, conditioning ingredient or texture agent.

This conclusion applies to cosmetic-grade fixed oils rather than similarly named volatile essential oils. Seed or food allergy may still matter for a susceptible person.
