MamaSkin presents each recorded formula with a safety score and a risk band from No Known Risks to High Risk. Ingredient-level flags and evidence notes explain which ingredients influenced the result. The risk band is the main safety conclusion, while the score adds detail within that band.
Mia can help with general questions about pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies, skincare, products, ingredients, food, and drink. Answers are written in plain English and include scientific and official sources so you can review the evidence. Mia is not the source of MamaSkin safety decisions or a substitute for medical advice.
No. Maintained ingredient rules and medical and regulatory evidence determine the risk bands. AI helps explain results in clearer language and can support product or label identification.
When you scan a label, we use on-screen OCR to extract the ingredient text and match it to our database. In some cases, we may send the photo to a third-party AI provider solely to identify the product or improve text extraction. We then use the extracted text to run the safety analysis. For details on how data is handled, please see our Privacy Policy.
Our guidance draws on peer-reviewed research and regulatory sources, including FDA, EMA, and NHS material. We review and update assessments as evidence and regulatory guidance change.
While MamaSkin is specifically designed for pregnancy safety, the app can be useful for anyone interested in understanding cosmetic ingredient safety. However, our recommendations are tailored for pregnancy-specific concerns.
If a product isn't in our catalogue, you can still scan the ingredients list and we'll analyse it against our research data. We're constantly adding new products, so check back regularly.
