[1] 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.
[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] 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)
[4] Salicylic Acid 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 facial products containing BHA (Salicylic Acid) at concentrations < 2% during pregnancy. However, for better safety, it is advisable to consult with a doctor. (Source: PubMed)
[5] Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract is considered a source of Salicylic Acid. However, the salicin in willow bark needs an enzyme in the stomach to be converted into Salicylic Acid. Therefore, willow bark extract should be avoided for oral use but can still be used topically. However, mothers should avoid using this ingredient if they have a history of allergies to aspirin.

[6] Research findings indicate a correlation between exposure to Parabens before birth and birth outcomes such as birth weight, gestational age, and height in pregnant women. Specifically, the concentrations of methyl and propyl parabens in maternal urine are positively correlated with birth weight in mothers with the GSTM1 and GSTT1-null genotype. In other words, the absorption of parabens may lead to increased birth weight in women. Therefore, this ingredient is not recommended for use during pregnancy. (Source: MDPI)
[7] 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)
[8] 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).
(*) 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.
