[1] Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract is considered a natural source of Salicylic Acid. However, the salicins in willow bark need to be metabolized by enzymes in the stomach to convert into Salicylic Acid. Therefore, willow bark extract is believed to carry a much lower risk compared to BHA when applied topically. Additionally, there are currently no reports of adverse effects from this natural ingredient when used by pregnant women. However, similar to BHA, willow bark extract should only be used in small amounts (less than 2%) in cosmetics to ensure safety. Moreover, it should be avoided if there is a history of allergy to Aspirin. (Source: Dr.Laura Nicholas)
[2] Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Eugenol and Farnesol are derived from essential oils or synthesized. They can cause irritation for sensitive skin. Mothers should be cautious when using them.
[3] 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.
(*) Synthetic Fragrance is not recommended during pregnancy as it may contain Phthalates—a type of solvent used to fix scents, which can act like hormones and interfere with the body’s endocrine system. However, according to the manufacturer, the fragrance used in Herbivore products is entirely derived from natural sources. Therefore, it poses a lower risk to maternal health. That said, all fragrance ingredients can increase skin sensitivity. For this reason, if you have sensitive skin, it’s still advisable to limit the use of products containing fragrance, whether natural or synthetic.

(**) Salicylic Acid can be used in small amounts (< 2%) in facial skincare products. 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 (Source: PubMed). However, experts recommend that mothers avoid using cosmetics with Salicylic Acid concentrations of 2% or higher for better safety.
[4] Rosemary Oil is one of the essential oils believed to have negative effects on pregnant women, as it can stimulate the uterus, affect hormones, and cause skin irritation. (Source: Parents). Although the concentration of this oil 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 this essential oil during pregnancy.
