Ingredient ratings and evidence
Higher-risk flags first. Open an ingredient for evidence.
Fragrance (Parfum)
Low risk
An exact label variant for an undisclosed fragrance blend. Fragrance is not usually a pregnancy-specific concern at normal cosmetic levels, but the precise components and concentrations are not fully disclosed, so MamaSkin scores the umbrella term conservatively. People sensitive to fragrance may prefer fragrance-free products.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract
Low risk
Arnica flower extract is used topically in soothing products. Pregnancy safety has not been established for medicinal use, and arnica can cause allergic contact dermatitis; use on broken skin is discouraged. MamaSkin applies Low Risk for limited pregnancy data and sensitisation potential rather than a known fetal hazard from normal cosmetic exposure.

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
No known risks
A liquid wax from jojoba seeds used as an emollient and conditioning ingredient.

Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
No known risks
centella asiatica flower/leaf/stem extract is a botanical-derived cosmetic conditioning ingredient. The reviewed identity is not an essential oil or an oral herbal preparation. Available cosmetic evidence and expected topical exposure did not identify a pregnancy-specific contraindication, although botanical irritation or allergy remains possible.

Crocus Chrysanthus Bulb Extract
No known risks
This is snow-crocus bulb/corm extract, not saffron stigmas, Crocus sativus extract or colchicine-containing autumn crocus. No pregnancy-specific harm has been identified from ordinary dilute topical cosmetic use; direct pregnancy, reproductive and lactation data are limited. Manufacturer documentation describes a defined skin-conditioning grade and local skin-cell signalling studies, not proof of systemic hormone effects or pregnancy safety. Weleda lists the exact extract in a body butter intended for pregnancy. Cosmetic-grade purity and local tolerance remain important. This assessment excludes ingestion, medicinal doses and concentrated raw material.

Limonene is a common fragrance component used at low levels in cosmetics; it is not a pregnancy-specific concern in topical use, but it is a recognised fragrance allergen and may trigger irritation or sensitisation in some people, especially if the product oxidises over time.

Linalool
No known risks

Questions about this assessment
Why does Weleda Stretch Mark Body Butter 150ml have a Low risk rating?
The recorded formula includes 2 ingredient entries with risk flags: Arnica Montana Flower Extract (Low risk), Fragrance (Parfum) (Low risk). These are ingredient-level flags; they do not replace the stored product assessment or account for every formulation detail. The product score is a stored assessment, not a clinical safety guarantee.
Has every ingredient in Weleda Stretch Mark Body Butter 150ml been assessed?
26 of 26 ingredient entries on this page have a recorded score, evidence summary and source text. That describes documentation coverage, not proof that the finished formula has been clinically tested during pregnancy.
Does this assessment apply to my Weleda Stretch Mark Body Butter 150ml?
Only if the ingredient list on your packaging matches the recorded formula shown here. Formulas can differ by market and change over time. Compare the full list, not just the product name; report a mismatch if it differs.
Does this pregnancy assessment also establish breastfeeding suitability?
No. This page presents a pregnancy-focused product assessment. Do not infer a breastfeeding conclusion from its score or label; breastfeeding requires a separate assessment of the formula and how it is used.
