[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] 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)
[3] 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)
[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] Formaldehyde (DMDM Hydantoin) is a preservative that may increase the risk of reproductive issues or miscarriage for users. Animal studies also show that formaldehyde concentrations higher than 2 ppm can enter breast milk. Therefore, this ingredient should be avoided at all stages, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women. (Source: NIOSH)
