La Roche-Posay Anthelios Uvmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+

Volatile solvent used to improve texture, drying time, and penetration in some formulas. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support current cosmetic use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed; the main practical issue is dryness, stinging, or barrier disruption in some users.

An ester of citric acid and ethanol used as a solvent, deodorant ingredient and fragrance carrier. Cosmetic safety reviewers assessed triethyl citrate with citric acid, citrate salts and alkyl citrate esters and concluded that the group is safe in current cosmetic use when formulated to avoid irritation. Triethyl citrate is also an established food-use substance, and no pregnancy-specific concern is identified for normal topical cosmetic exposure.

An ester of a dicarboxylic acid used as an emollient, solvent or texture agent. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that the assessed alkyl dicarboxylic acid esters are safe in current practices of use and concentration. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal topical exposure.

Mineral absorbent and texture aid used to mattify and improve slip. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical cosmetic use; this assessment does not cover deliberate inhalation of loose powder.

Modern broad-spectrum UV filter (often known as Tinosorb S). It has a high molecular weight and is formulated to remain mainly in the outer skin layers, with very low systemic absorption at cosmetic use levels. EU regulatory assessments and independent risk–benefit reviews have evaluated this filter as safe up to 10% in sunscreens, with no specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals identified in animals or humans at permitted concentrations.

UV filter used in sunscreens and day products to help absorb UVB radiation. Reviewed cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support current cosmetic use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the material reviewed.

Glycerin is a widely used humectant that supports hydration and the skin barrier, with a long safety record and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns in topical cosmetic use.

Solvent and humectant used to improve texture and ingredient solubility. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

C12 22 Alkyl Acrylate/hydroxyethylacrylate Copolymer is a cosmetic polymer, film former or high-molecular-weight texture aid. Systemic dermal absorption is expected to be limited when manufactured with appropriate residual-monomer and impurity controls. No pregnancy-specific concern was identified for normal cosmetic use; avoid inhaling airborne powder or spray droplets.

Buffering and chelating ingredient used to control pH and formulation stability. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

An insoluble mineral or elemental particle used for optical effects, absorbency or cosmetic texture. Meaningful systemic exposure through intact skin is expected to be low. No pregnancy- or reproductive-toxicity signal was identified for normal topical cosmetic use. Particle size, source purity, metal impurities and inhalation of airborne powder remain formulation-specific considerations, and local contact allergy is possible with gold.

Vitamin E antioxidant used to protect oils and support the skin barrier. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure.

Common emollient derived from fatty acids and glycerin. Used to soften skin and improve texture without pregnancy-specific concerns.

Polymer thickener and stabiliser used in creams and sunscreens. Low systemic exposure expected.

Humectant and preservative booster used to support product stability. Low systemic exposure expected from topical cosmetic use.

pH adjuster used in small amounts to maintain product stability. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns.

Modern UVA filter (often called Uvinul A+ or DHHB). Regulatory assessments have repeatedly evaluated this filter as safe in cosmetic products at concentrations up to 10%. The most recent SCCS advice focuses on controlling a manufacturing impurity (DnHexP) rather than on new toxicity of DHHB itself. Human biomonitoring data indicate low systemic exposure from normal sunscreen use, and current reviews do not identify specific reproductive or developmental toxicity signals at approved concentrations.

Organic UVA/UVB filter used in sunscreens, also known as Mexoryl XL. Cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the sources reviewed.

Cellulose-derived thickener used to build viscosity and improve texture. Reviewed cosmetic safety sources support normal topical use, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical signal identified in the material reviewed.

Organic UVA filter used in sunscreens, also known as Ecamsule or Mexoryl SX. Cosmetic safety and regulatory sources support use within applicable concentration limits, with no pregnancy- or breastfeeding-specific topical concern identified in the sources reviewed.
