         Hello, can I use Beaute Pacifique Defy Damage Skin Repair Serum.

         The brand says it uses a pregnancy/breasfeeding safe vitamin A, but is that a “thing”?

         Ingredients:
         Aqua (Water)Polysorbate 60C12-15 Alkyl BenzoateCaprylic/Capric TriglycerideSqualane

         is an oil naturally occurring in human skin and is an important part of the lipid system. Its penetration capacity is remarkably high. Nanometer droplets of squalane function as effective “transporters” for the A Vitamins and other oil soluble active ingredients. Young and healthy skin contains a high amount of squalane but the level will decrease dramatically with age. Therefore squalane is absorbed excellently into sun damaged and aged skin. A lack of squalane within the skin can lead to premature aging, very dry skin and a loss of elasticity. Areas of constantly exposed, dry and prematurely aged skin such as on the hands, elbows, heals and knees etc become incredibly soft immediately when squalane is applied in the right formulation.

         GlycerinMethyl Gluceth-20Cetearyl AlcoholPEG-20 StearatePropylene GlycolCitrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract

         is a natural source of Vitamin C that functions as a strong anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen synthesis. Helping to also recreate the ceramides in the epidermis. Citrus Limon Fruit Extract gently exfoliates the dead skin cells and reduces the problems of excessive oiliness.

         PhenoxyethanolEthylhexylglycerinPEG/PPG-4/12 DimethiconeSodium Ursolate and Sodium Oleanolate

         are two very powerful ingredients with a unique capacity to repair aged and sun damaged skin. The most remarkable scientific findings are the recreated collagen fibre structures at the same level as found in young skin. This rejuvenates completely the treated skin, including a striking recreation of the surface of the skin’s micro-topography.

         Tocopheryl Acetate

         is a type of Vitamin E that plays an important role by protecting both the skin and the products against harmful free radicals.

         Retinyl Palmitate

         is a particularly stable form of Vitamin A that we have formulated into our cremes, in a way to maintain its high potency – both during storage and on application to the skin. Encapsulated in nanometer sized droplets of squalane, the Vitamin A can penetrate deep into the skin in sufficient amounts to stimulate the type of cells, that synthesise lost collagen fibre structures providing a younger skin. Wrinkles and fine line diminish and throughout the complete structure of the skin it is significantly rejuvenated. Made prossible via our patented combination with squalane that functions as an effective delivery system penetrating through the entire depth of the skin, The Vitamin A transforms into a totally unique and remarkably efficient Anti-Aging action within the skin corresponding to a 10- 20 years rejuvenation.

         Tocopherol

         is another source of Vitamin E that plays an important role by protecting both the skin and the products against harmful free radicals and functions as a natural moisturizer and capable of reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

         AlcoholChamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower ExtractRetinyl Acetate

         is like Retinyl Palmitate a particularly stable form of Vitamin A and it has a similar remarkable efficient rejuvenating action in the skin working in parallel with and in the same manner as in Retinyl Palmitate. It enables the skin’s specialized cells to rebuild and repair sun damaged and aged skin comparable to Retinyl Palmitate.

         Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) OilAcrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate CrosspolymerParfum (Fragrance)DimethiconeHydrolyzed Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid

         is a mixture of two ingredients that together build an invisible shield of moisture binding barrier on the surface of the skin, to enable the skin to maintain its elevated level of moisture within the epidermis.

         Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit ExtractTetrasodium IminodisuccinateRubia Tinctorum (Madder) Root Extract, Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Alchemilla Vulgaris Leaf Extract, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Seed Extract and Medicago Sativia (Alfalfa) Extract (refirming)

         is a mixture of natural extracts that is a vascular constrictor and reinforces the skin’s elastic proportions. Exellent in treating “Teleangiectasies“ and red cheeks.

           Yeah, not really a thing. There are a few doctors out there that will say “Oh, it’s not as strong, it needs to transform a bit…” but it still works the same way, and the evidence in the literature links retinoids the most strongly to birth defects. So most of us recommend avoiding all retinoids.

   Hello, is SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate ) safe in skin care during pregnancy and specially first trimester? I’ve read a lot in the internet and I’m confused, everything contains SLS

   Reply

     Christine said:

     Pretty much everything does contain SLS. I don’t know any physicians who recommend avoiding SLS, but it pops up occasionally on random websites.
     I will say that SLS tends to be drying and cause skin reactions, and your skin is more prone to reactions while pregnant. So that would be a reason to avoid it. But not a safety issue.

   Hi there! Thanks for all the work you do on this website! I was wondering if you were planning on doing a review of the Mineral Fusion brand (https://www.mineralfusion.com/)? They have a lot of ‘clean’ products but I know that does not necessarily always mean pregnancy safe too.

    And doctor, may I ask if this would pass your safety check? It’s the JOHNSON’S BABY LOTION.

    Their talc-baby powder has been discontinued in North America, following law suits of being cancer-causing… But in other parts of the world (like in my country), their baby powder & baby lotion are still so popular! Here are the ingredients for their baby lotion. Thank you again! 🙏🏻

    Ingredients:
    Water*, Glycerin*, Isopropyl Palmitate*, Stearic Acid*, Glyceryl Sterate*, Cetyl Alcohol*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol*, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate*, Fragrance, Carbomer, p-Anisic Acid*, Sodium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum*, Ethylhexylglycerin, Titanium Dioxide* *naturally-derived ingredients,

    Fragrance <1% Breakdown (Aubepine Para Cresol, Benzyl Acetate, Bicyclo Nonalactone, Dipropylene Glycol, Mefrosol) – The heart of the fragrance is built around a trio of Rose, Jasmine and Creamy Iris.

    Thank you doctor for your previous answers! 😊🙏🏻 When it comes to insect bites (and to relieve their itch), we often have Camphor/Menthol liniments. I never put these on my face, just small dabs in arms/legs that get mosquito bites–and not everyday, just when needed… But I realized these might not be safe for those expecting pregnancy/are pregnant?

    1. OMEGA PAINKILLER – COUNTERIRRITANT
    Ingredients: Methyl Salicylate, Camphor, Menthol, Turpentine Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Liniment Base

    2. VICS VAPORUB
    Ingredients: Camphor 4.7%, Eucalyptus oil 1.2%, Menthol 2.6%

    ———-
    I realize that the 1st item should already be avoided because it has “methyl salicylate”? 😞 Would you also flag other ingredients? Thank you again!

      It’s chemical, these are the sunscreens:
      Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
      Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
      Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone
      Ethylhexyl Triazone

      It also has a salicylate to avoid in pregnancy. There are very few pregnancy safe sunscreen sprays, most are chemical based or have a salicylate

        Thank you for checking and letting me know what ingredients to look out for. I do have the ren mineral spf that’s safe. I was hoping there maybe a spray one that didn’t white me out so much. I would rather use a safe product of course 🙂

          Sprays are tricky to get into solution when they’re purely mineral based. Of note, sprays are actually basically impossible to apply correctly. We all know you need about 1 ounce of lotion on the average adult body to hit the correct SPF application. But what about spray? How far down do you hold the nozzle? How far away? How do you sweep the product? It’s actually because of those issues that the FDA has talked about no longer allowing sprays in the US. I’ve also taken care of a bunch of kids in my Peds ICU (my “other” life) who were there with severe asthma attacks due to spray sunscreens. Some of those kids weren’t even having the sunscreen applied to them, it was a kid nearby. Because of these issues I don’t use spray sunscreens with my family.

            Just to clarify theREN one I’m using is a cream. I always use a daily spf. Thanks for the additional details. It makes so much sense why not to use them.

Was wondering if you had heard anything about them in terms of effectiveness, I’m assuming they are safe based on their claims but would dig further myself before using of course 🙂 Versine Skincare is the name.

     Hi ☺️

     Wondering if these clarifying pads from
     Skinpharm are good to use while pregnant. I couldn’t find a whole ingredient list but this is what they have listed as the key ingredients. Key Ingredients:
     salicylic acid 2%, glycolic acid 5%, lactic acid 5%, grapefruit peel extract, cucumber fruit extract

     They recommend it on their website for women who are pregnant. Would like to know your thoughts.

     Thank you!

       Obviously not the full list, so I can’t say that it’s safe for nursing, but it’s definitely not safe for pregnancy. You should avoid both the salicylic acid and glycolic acid in pregnancy.
       This discussion might be helpful: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)

       I’m not certain if the Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract or Vitis Vinifera Cell Culture Extract are stem cell ingredients. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
       It’s otherwise safe for pregnancy and nursing.

       Both of these are fine for pregnancy/nursing. PLEASE let me know if they help! I recently discovered that I also have psoriasis on my scalp (makes so much sense after years of not responding well to typical meds/shampoos), but need to step down to something soonish as the steroids have helped a ton, but I can’t live on steroids…

           Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond! To be honest, I’m not sure what to think of these products. My regular psoriasis disappeared completely while I’ve been pregnant, and my scalp psoriasis seems to be in limbo (still flaky and itchy, but it’s been much worse before). I’m not sure if the shampoo and conditioner are keeping it at bay, or if it’s something to do with being pregnant. It does get worse if I skip days, but I’m not sure if it’s the products or if any shampoo/conditioner would do the same. And it never gets better past a certain point.

       I’m not certain if the Panax Ginseng Callus Culture Extrac is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

     Hello Dr. Christine,
     Thanks a lot for your thoughtful initiative to help the ‘would be moms’ and ‘new moms’ !
     I was wondering when should I stop using pregnancy unsafe products while planning fir baby / trying to conceive? I’m planning for baby after recovering from covid last month and till now I’ve been using products with glycolic acid, arbutin , kojic acid for treatment of acne and scars (prescribed by my dermatologist) and had my glycolic acid peel treatment today. My ovulation period will start in 2days . Could you please let me know would it be harmful for my baby if I try to conceive this week? Should I wait for couple of weeks or a month after I stop using all these prescribed products/treatments?
     Mistakenly I forgot to read the ingredient lists of all the products and continued applying till today and was told by my dermatologist that glycolic acid peel is safe if not yet conceived.

     I would really appreciate if you kindly help me out with my quarries.

     Thanks Again.

         I’ve stopped using all the products with unsafe ingredients which are mentioned in your articles. Cancelled all of my glycolic acid peel sessions which my dermatologist advised me to get in next 3months.
         May Allah keep my body safe from those harmful ingredients which I’ve been using mistakenly and bless me with a healthy baby and safe pregnancy.

         Your articles are really helpful and you’ve already guided us through your previous articles which I’ve just noticed.

       The ingredients in all of these are garbled and have some repetitions of that garbling, or in some cases (esp #3) look like words but when you look more closely those aren’t words that actually mean anything (some are close but not quite right, like potashumphate in #3), so I can’t say for sure what a lot of that is meant to be. So I don’t feel comfortable answer about safety.

         Thank you so much Doctor! I’ve been told a few times that castor oil induces labour. I know that it’s in a few of the sunscreen ingredients above. But it shouldn’t be such a problem since it’s only going on my face?

           Yes, topical is different. And it takes a HUGE amount orally to have any effect, and even then it doesn’t work well.

     Hello, I hope I am posting this correctly and in right spot. In reviewing pregnancy safe brands, I did not see any reviews for Attitude shampoo, specifically their Blooming Belly maternity shampoo. It is an EWG verified shampoo, but one ingredient has me concerned: ethyl acetate natural (pear)? Below is the ingredient list. Thank you so much for this website. I find it to be an incredible resource.

     Aqua / water / eau, sodium coco-sulfate, coco-glucoside, vegetable glycerin, sodium cocoyl isethionate, citric acid, panthenol (vitamin B5), sodium chloride, glyceryl oleate, sodium benzoate, inulin, potassium sorbate, hydrolyzed wheat protein, argania spinosa (argan) leaf extract, maltodextrin, cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) gum, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, 3-hexenol (green leaves), ethyl acetate natural (sweet pear).

       #4 I’m not certain if the Crocus Sativus Meristem Cell Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always.

       Leontopodium Alpinum Meristem Cell Culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

         Thank you, I thought it might not be safe. This is what the company says about the stem cell:
         Edelweiss plant stem cells contain anti-inflammatory properties that reduce signs of aging while promoting collagen production for supple, radiant skin

As I get hundreds of requests a day (and many brands actually have several products with similar names) I do NOT hunt down product ingredients for readers.

       #2 also has chemical sunscreen and salicylate to avoid in pregnancy.

     Dear Dr. Christine,
     My dermatologist prescribed ‘Clindamycin Lotion’ for the treatment of acne vulgaris . I wanted to have an expert advice and thought for asking you if it’s pregnancy safe (I’m not pregnant yet but trying to conceive) .

     Clindamycin Lotion:

     Ingredients:
     Each ml lotion contains Clindamycin Phosphate USP equivalent to Clindamycin 10 mg.

     Thank you so much for your previous suggestions which were really helpful and also for all the articles regarding pregnancy safe products with links and ingredients which helped us a lot to decide which products would be ok for us and which would not.

         Each ml lotion contains Clindamycin Phosphate USP equivalent to Clindamycin 10 mg.’

         I apologise for your inconvenience and will definitely try to find another product with Clindamycin which has complete ingredient list and send you to check .

         Thank you so much for your kind gesture.
         May Allah bless you with a healthy and blissful life.

       This is Safe for pregnancy and nursing! I need to add this brand to my to do list. It’s ever growing, eventually I’ll get to it!

       I obviously have ads (and I need to tell my ad company to tone it down, I rarely look at the “front end” of the website and they appear to have gone quite crazy since I last looked at it) and I get money from affiliates. I do well with it already, but that’s very sweet of you to offer to help support my endeavors! Just use my links to purchase and tell your friends if you thought this was helpful 🙂

       This might be helpful, esp re: the product with arbutin and kojic acid they say is ok to use…
       Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)

       I would avoid both the kojic acid and arbutin in pregnancy and nursing (they work the same way as hydroquinone, so likely have the same effects), also has licorice root to avoid in pregnancy.

       I’m not certain if the Vitis Vinifera Fruit Cell Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       Otherwise, this is safe for pregnancy and nursing

       Arbonne is on my to do list, I just haven’t gotten there.
       Neither of those lists are full ingredient lists, they’re just key ingredients (things need to be in chemical names, no sunscreens are listed, etc) so I can’t provide safety info.

       Note, you don’t have the actual sunscreen ingredients here, but even if they were chemical sunscreens they wouldn’t change my safety recommendation.

         Hi, I was wondering if you’d be willing to add a brand to your big list- Barefaced, by Jordan Harper. Most of her products are deemed safe for pregnancy on her page, but I like your conservative approach. I’ll post 3 that I was regularly using if you don’t mind screening, and if you ever have time to add her brand that would be wonderful!

         1. vitamin c serum

         L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 15% – potent antioxidant that improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes dark spots and provides UV protection
         Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) – works in conjunction with vitamin C to provide enhanced effectiveness.
         Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Extract helps skin appear more radiant and even toned.
         Morus Alba (White Mulberry) Extract brightens the skin while enhancing an even skin tone.
         Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Extract brightens the skin while helping to prevent premature aging and inflammation.
         Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Extract a skin conditioner that improves skin’s radiance
         All ingredient percentages are considered pregnancy/nursing safe by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, we always recommend consulting with your OB prior to usage.

         2. Hydrating Lotion
         Key Ingredients
         Niacinamide, Ceramides, Caffeine, Resveratrol, Peptides

         Niacinamide: Vitamin B3 provides anti-aging benefits while brightening and soothing the skin.
         Caffeine: helps minimize appearance of pores for tighter looking skin
         Ceramide NP, AP: strengthens the skin’s barrier by leveling out the moisture balance
         Resveratrol: Antioxidant that reduces inflammation, swelling and irritation.
         Sodium Hyaluronate: Minimizes dryness by increasing the skin’s hydration
         Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2: Increases collagen and elastin which tightens the skin
         Apple Fruit Extract: Antioxidant that reduces the appearance of pores, moisturizes the skin and provides great anti-aging benefits.
         Green Tea Polyphenols: contains antioxidant properties which calm and soothe the skin

         3. Overachiever
         (* I know your stance on bakuchiol, but is there anything else in here that’s concerning to you?)

         Resveratrol: antioxidant that reduces inflammation, swelling and irritation
         Bakuchiol: packed full of anti-aging and soothing benefits and promotes more even skin tone and texture
         Azelaic Acid: provides anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties which lessen breakouts and increases skin’s radiance

         It’s a great line free from parabens, formaldehyde, fragrance, etc, but with a lot of ingredients it worries me continuing to use them in pregnancy.

         Thanks so much! & thanks for all you do, on this blog and for the kiddos.

           Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
           1: willow bark, licorice root

           Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing:
           3: just the bakuchiol, which DOES hit the same receptors as retinoids it turns out. So I would definitely avoid.

           🙂 This former PICU doc (now hospitalist) hopes this helps!

       I don’t review dental products, their ingredients are very different than skincare and I am an MD so don’t have training in them.

       The wave spray depends on how you use it, most people don’t apply at the roots, it’s throughout the hair. The other 3 are all ok for pregnancy and nursing, but it’s the Pebble Beach that has a salicylate (so ok for nursing but not pregnancy). I would just make sure not to apply near your roots!

       Oh yes! Sorry to add two more products to my list above!!! Super sorry Dr.

       I am debating whether which or the other is safe or not for pregnancy/nursing currently.

       One is the Hero Mighty Patch Original, it only has 1 ingredient?

       View full ingredient list:
       Hydrocolloid

       Second is: Peace Out
       Oil-Absorbing Pore Treatment Strips

       FULL INGREDIENTS LIST:
       Ingredients: DMAE Bitartrate, Retinyl Acetate (Vitamin A)*
       Patch: Hydrocolloid Polymer Technology

       is Retinyl Acetate safe, or its just another word of retinol?

         Peace out has it’s own page, linked above. That’s a product to avoid in pregnancy and nursing because that’s a retinoid.

       It looks safe, but I don’t know what is in the “herbal extracts”, that could be almost anything and isn’t legal in the US for labeling.

       My youngest is 7, so everything I used is either no longer made or reformulated. I’ve been thinking about making a post like this though with go-to recommendations!

       Help me decide what to include. I think each product type should have options at the drugstore, “clean” beauty and department store/specialty (aka- sephora but not one of their clean beauty lines).
       Product types: Cleanser, eye makeup remover, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (face and body), shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, stretch mark cream, masks for dryness and acne. Am I missing anything major?

         Sounds pretty thorough to me! Perhaps an exfoliator and serum?

         I also wouldn’t mind seeing some medical grade skincare options if possible; however, they do seem to have a lot of ingredients that aren’t pregnancy friendly.

         Looking forward to your post! Thank you in advance.

       Sunscreens

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       Sunscreen- chemical sunscreens, licorice root

       Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing:
       Demelan- kojic acid, Arbutin, also glycolic which needs to be avoided in just pregnancy

     While this has the same active ingredient as Head and Shoulders which you’ve passed, can you help me review the ingredients? As I let this dandruff shampoo sit on my scalp for 2-5 minutes per use (depending on scalp condition), I wanted to be sure.

     Brand: DermaHarmony
     Active ingredient: 2% Pyrithione Zinc
     Ingredients:
     Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), Stearic Acid, Coconut Fatty Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) Oil, Coco Glucoside, Water, Soyethyl Morpholinium Ethosulfate, Etearyl Alcohol & Ceteareth-20, Sodium Methyl 2 Sulfolaurate & Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate, Argan Oil, Oat (Avena Sativa) Flour, Sucrose Cocoate, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Iron Oxides (Yellow Ochre)

     Hi Dr.

     is Carbon Theory’s Charcoal & Tea Tree Oil Breakout Control Facial Exfoliating Scrub safe for preg/nursing?

     I think my main concern is the tea tree oil? I was under the impression it isn’t safe, but hoping this product is diluted etc. and safe for use for acne/blemishes.

     “Key Ingredients:
     Organic activated charcoal gently draws out deep down bacteria, toxins and excess oil.

     Pumice particles accelerate natural exfoliation to unclog pores and leave skin feeling bright and refreshed.

     Pink grapefruit citric acid gently exfoliates, while helping to promote cell turnover and control oil.

     Organic tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic which reduces inflammation and keeps skin clear & healthy.”

     Ingredients

     Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Glycerin, Pumice, Maris Limus (Sea Silt) Extract, Aspartic Acid, Carbon Black (Charcoal Powder), Phenoxyethanol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Potassium Sorbate, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Sodium Phytate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Citric Acid, Limonene.

     Also, im sorry if this question duplicated on this page. I wasn’t able to click submit, I may have clicked it twice to double check.

Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. If it’s stem cells, I would avoid in pregnancy

       I’m not certain if the undaria pinnatifida cell culture extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       Regardless of the stem cells, Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to licorice root. Stem cells would put it in the same category.

     Can you help with a specific product from Environ Skin Care, a brand sold at dermatologist offices and spas? I’m somewhat concerned, since it contains Vitamin A. The specific product I am considering is the Environ Vita-Enriched Antioxidant Gel.

     Hello, I found myself growing body hair where I never had, especially arms and tummy. I used to use a product (I think it’s a Spanish brand) that gets sprayed on top of the body hair and progressively lightens it, it acts faster if exposed to sunlight. I was wondering if I could use this during pregnancy?
     Here is the ingredients list:
     AQUA (WATER), ALCOHOL DENAT., CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA (MATRICARIA) FLOWER EXTRACT, HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), PHOSPHORIC ACID, C.l. 19140 (FD&C YelIow No.5), AMYL CINNAMAL, COUMARIN, LINALOOL.

     And here the product, if you are curious: https://www.inteacosmetics.es/inicio/11-locion-aclarante-del-vello-camomila-intea-cubrevello-efecto-solar-8410895100242.html
