Data report
Pregnancy-flagged ingredients
How often do ingredients a pregnancy screen would flag turn up in the skincare we've decoded? Counted live from real labels.
Last computed — every figure on this page is counted live from our decoded catalog, so it changes as coverage grows.
Not medical advice
This is not medical advice. It is an educational ingredient screen, not a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation. Pregnancy skincare decisions depend on your history, your trimester, and the specific product — talk to your doctor, OB-GYN, or dermatologist before starting, stopping, or continuing any product.
"Flagged" means our pregnancy checker matches the ingredient to an avoid- or caution-graded class drawn from peer-reviewed reviews and dermatology-authority guidance. A flag is a prompt to talk to your clinician — not a claim of harm, and an unflagged ingredient is not a guarantee of safety.
