[1] Licorice is recommended to be used in moderation during pregnancy because it is associated with increased blood pressure in mothers and decreased cognitive function in children at birth. However, the licorice content identified in studies is 250g (equivalent to one cup of water per week). This amount is much higher than the concentration of licorice extract used in cosmetics. Therefore, mothers may consider using cosmetics containing this ingredient during pregnancy. However, for better safety, it is advisable to consult with a doctor. (Source: Health)
[2] Salicylic Acid / Betaine Salicylate can be absorbed through the skin in small amounts. However, researchers have studied the effects of women using low-dose Acetylsalicylic Acid during pregnancy and found no increased risk of side effects such as birth defects, preterm birth, or low birth weight. Therefore, mothers may consider using products containing BHA (Salicylic Acid) at concentrations < 2% during pregnancy. However, for better safety, it is advisable to consult with a doctor.

[3] Sage Oil and Artemisia Oil are essential oils that are believed to have negative effects on pregnant women, as they can stimulate the uterus, affect hormones, and cause skin irritation (Source: Parents). Although the concentration of these oils in cosmetics is usually very low and considered to carry minimal risk, for better safety, pregnant women should still limit the use of products containing these essential oils during pregnancy.
[4] Aluminum can be absorbed through the skin, and studies on mice have shown that exposure to AlCl₃ during pregnancy negatively affects the growth parameters of both the mother and fetus, as well as various organs in the body, depending on the dosage. Therefore, the use of products containing aluminum salts during pregnancy should be limited (Source: National Library of Medicine)
[5] The amount of Retinoids absorbed very minimally through the skin when applied topically. However, there are 4 published case reports of birth defects in the literature associated with topical tretinoin use, which are consistent with retinoid embryopathy. Therefore, pregnant women are not advised to use this ingredient throughout pregnancy. (Source: PubMed)
[6] Chemical sunscreen ingredients can be absorbed through the skin, and four of them – Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, and Avobenzone – have been shown to disrupt hormones, while the others do not have enough data for the FDA to confirm their safety. Additionally, chemical sunscreen ingredients often make up a large portion of the formula, resulting in higher absorption into the skin compared to other ingredients, leading to a higher risk. Therefore, mothers should prioritize using products with physical sunscreen ingredients (Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide) during pregnancy and breastfeeding for better safety. (Source: EWG).
