FAQ

Why look for alternatives to resorcinol?

SCCS (EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) identified endocrine‑disrupting/thyroid effects for resorcinol and set restricted safe use levels in cosmetics, indicating suspected reproductive/endocrine hazards though used at low concentrations (SCCS opinion). Animal toxicology (NTP/NIH gavage studies) shows systemic effects at higher doses including thyroid and other systemic toxicity, supporting a mechanistic concern. Topical cosmetic use can give low but measurable systemic exposure at typical consumer concentrations, so exposure is rated as low/measurable.

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.
