FAQ

Why look for alternatives to ammonium glycyrrhizate?

CIR’s final safety assessment includes ammonium glycyrrhizate and judges cosmetic use acceptable with typical use conditions, but independent human/epidemiological and toxicology assessments link glycyrrhizic/glycyrrhetinic acids (parent compounds) with pregnancy outcomes after oral exposure via inhibition of placental 11β‑HSD2 and associated fetal effects; therefore reproductive concern is suspected (h=2) with a demonstrated mechanism (m=2). For topical cosmetic use systemic absorption is expected to be low but measurable, so exposure score is 1. (Sources: CIR final report; VKM risk assessment; PBPK and human studies summarized in LactMed and literature).

Are these alternatives truly pregnancy-safe?

Every alternative listed has a "no known risks" risk band in our database, scored from EU CosIng, ECHA hazard classifications, and PubMed research. Always consult your OB-GYN before using new skincare during pregnancy.

Can I use more than one alternative at the same time?

Yes — many pregnancy-safe ingredients layer well (e.g. hyaluronic acid + niacinamide + mineral SPF). Our app flags any interactions when you scan full product ingredient lists.
