[1] Glycolic Acid has been studied in mice and shown to affect the physical development of offspring when administered to pregnant mice at a dose of 300mg/kg/day for 20 consecutive days via oral ingestion. In comparison, adult mice typically weigh between 12 – 40g. Therefore, the amount of Glycolic Acid absorbed daily would constitute between 2.5% – 0.75% of the mouse’s body weight, which could be at least 100,000 times higher than the amount of Glycolic Acid a human might absorb when using a cosmetic containing 10% of this ingredient (as Glycolic Acid can only be absorbed through the skin up to about 30%). Experts suggest that using skincare products containing Glycolic Acid during pregnancy is unlikely to pose a risk to the developing baby. (Source: PubMed)
[2] Phenoxyethanol is believed to have a negative impact on newborns. In 2008, the FDA warned consumers not to purchase Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream due to the presence of phenoxyethanol, which can weaken the nervous system of breastfed babies. However, according to the American College of Toxicology, Phenoxyethanol does not pose toxicity to the embryo or fetus at doses that could be toxic to the mother. Therefore, this ingredient can be considered for use during pregnancy but should be limited while breastfeeding to avoid the risk of the baby licking/ingesting it through contact with the mother’s skin. Nevertheless, to ensure better safety, it is recommended that mothers consult with a doctor.

[3] Fragrance/Parfum on product labels represents a mixture of many undisclosed chemicals and fragrance components. It has the potential to cause skin irritation. This ingredient can also be absorbed through the skin and found in breast milk. Notably, fragrances often contain Phthalates, a solvent that helps fix the fragrance but can act like a hormone and interfere with the body’s endocrine system. Moreover, recent studies from Harvard indicate that exposure to phthalates during pregnancy may increase the likelihood of the child experiencing motor skill and language development issues. Therefore, mothers should minimize exposure to phthalates by avoiding cosmetics containing artificial fragrances. (Source: EWG and Harvard Health)
[4] 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)
[5] 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).
NOTE:
- The list of product ingredients is updated from the official website of the brand. However, it may change with each production batch.
- Any product, even if considered safe, may still cause irritation for some individuals with special skin types. Therefore, mothers should discontinue use and consult a doctor if any unusual skin reactions occur.
- The product classification table is based on excluding ingredients that may pose risks to the skin or health of pregnant women. However, this does not represent confirmation by medical professionals regarding the safety of any product. We disclaim responsibility for users’ decisions.
