Ingredients

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

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Low Risk

Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) is a cleansing surfactant used mainly in rinse-off products. CIR concluded sodium and ammonium laureth sulfate safe in current cosmetics when formulations are non-irritating; skin and eye irritation is the main identified concern. The review does not identify a pregnancy-specific restriction for normal cosmetic use. MamaSkin retains Low Risk, with extra care for sensitive or damaged skin.

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.

Lactic Acid

Low Risk

Endogenous alpha-hydroxy acid and humectant; at modest cosmetic concentrations (≈5% and below, and generally <10%) topical lactic acid is considered compatible with pregnancy. Main risks are local irritation and increased photosensitivity rather than systemic toxicity or fetal effects.

Water

No Known Risks

Sodium Cocoamphoacetate

No Known Risks

An amphoteric surfactant used for mild cleansing and foam support. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that sodium cocoamphoacetate is safe in current practices of use and concentration. Surfactant-containing products may still sting eyes or irritated skin.

Methylpropanediol

No Known Risks

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient delivery in topical cosmetic formulas. Reviewed cosmetic ingredient references do not identify a pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific concern for normal topical use.

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

Zinc Sulfate

No Known Risks

An inorganic mineral salt used for formula support, pH adjustment or skin conditioning. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that zinc sulfate and sodium carbonate are safe in current cosmetic practices, with non-irritating formulation conditions where specified.

Fructooligosaccharides

No Known Risks

Short plant-derived carbohydrate chains used for skin conditioning and formula support. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed fructooligosaccharides with plant polysaccharide gums and concluded that the group is safe in current practices. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

Propylene Glycol

No Known Risks

Propylene glycol is a common solvent and humectant with a long history of use; it is not considered a pregnancy or breastfeeding concern in topical cosmetics, though some individuals may experience irritation in leave-on products.

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

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract

No Known Risks

A ginkgo leaf extract used for skin conditioning and antioxidant effects. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that supported ginkgo leaf-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be non-sensitising and when manufacturing controls limit ginkgolic acid. This conclusion does not apply to ginkgo nut or root extracts.

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.
