Ingredient Safety During Pregnancy

• Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA): Topical Salicylic Acid is generally recommended to be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in high concentrations or in products that are left on the skin. While low concentrations (typically 2% or less) in rinse-off products are often considered lower risk, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider before using products containing Salicylic Acid during pregnancy. Different forms, such as Encapsulated Salicylic Acid or SalicSoft™, might offer reduced irritation or controlled release, but the overall recommendation for pregnancy remains cautious.
• N-Acetyl-D Glucosamine (GlucoBright™): This ingredient is generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy. It is known for its skin brightening and moisturizing properties and works well in combination with Niacinamide.
• Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is widely considered safe for topical use during pregnancy. It offers numerous benefits for the skin, including improving the skin barrier, reducing hyperpigmentation and redness, and controlling oiliness. Different grades like Safe-B3™ or Extreme-B3™ refer to purity levels, but Niacinamide itself is generally safe.
• Calendula Extract (Water Soluble): Calendula Extract is derived from marigold flowers and is known for its anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and skin-strengthening properties. It is generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy.
• WhiteCumin™ (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane): This ingredient is a derivative of curcumin from turmeric and acts as a skin brightener and antioxidant. Topical use of Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is generally considered safe during pregnancy.

Important Note: While N-Acetyl-D Glucosamine, Safe-B3™ (Niacinamide), Calendula Extract, and WhiteCumin™ are generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy, it is always recommended to consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional before using any new skincare products or ingredients while pregnant. Salicylic Acid requires more caution, and its use should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
