[1] According to the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists (IFPA), Tea Tree Oil can be used during pregnancy with a dilution of less than 1%. However, pregnant women will have more sensitive skin and be more prone to sunburn due to hormonal changes. Therefore, using cosmetics containing essential oils may cause irritation or worsen skin issues. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when using cosmetics with essential oils, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy, to ensure better safety.
[2] 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)

[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] PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals that break down very slowly. As a result, if exposed, they can remain in the body for a long time and cause many negative health effects, such as reduced immune function, increased risk of thyroid disease, liver cancer, and lipid disorders. Particularly for women, exposure to PFAS has been linked to endometriosis, and if exposed during pregnancy, it may lead to low birth weight in newborns. Therefore, this chemical should be avoided as much as possible at all stages. (Source: PubMed)
[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).
