Water

No Known Risks

Glycerin

No Known Risks

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.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Propanediol

No Known Risks

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

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

Show all (15)

Butylene Glycol

No Known Risks

Solvent and humectant commonly used in leave-on products. Not associated with pregnancy-specific concerns at cosmetic exposure levels.

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

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.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Pentylene Glycol

No Known Risks

Humectant and preservative booster. Considered safe for cosmetic use with low systemic exposure.

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin

No Known Risks

peg/ppg/polybutylene glycol-8/5/3 glycerin is a high-molecular-weight cosmetic polymer or film former. Dermal absorption is expected to be limited when manufactured with appropriate residual-monomer and impurity controls. Relevant CIR polymer assessments did not identify a pregnancy-specific concern for normal topical use; airborne powder or spray droplets should not be inhaled.

Madecassoside

No Known Risks

A triterpene glycoside associated with Centella asiatica and used in soothing and skin-conditioning formulas. Pregnancy-specific evidence for isolated topical madecassoside is limited. Cosmetic safety reviewers considered Centella-derived ingredients acceptable at current cosmetic exposure but noted that madecassoside and related triterpenes may contribute to sensitisation, so products should be formulated to avoid sensitising concentrations. No pregnancy-specific topical contraindication was identified in the reviewed material.

Sodium Hyaluronate

No Known Risks

Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid salt) is used for hydration and cushioning, with very low systemic absorption from topical use and no known pregnancy or breastfeeding concerns at cosmetic concentrations.

Sources: CIR; EU/UK Cosmetics Regulation

Sodium Polyacrylate

No Known Risks

Polymer used for texture and absorbency. Large-molecule ingredient with low systemic exposure.

Sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (US); Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (EU)

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

No Known Risks

A high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken and stabilise formulas. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that acryloyldimethyltaurate polymers are safe in current cosmetic practices. Absorption of the finished polymer is expected to be limited, with residual monomers controlled during manufacture.

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.
