Also called: pregnancy skincare · what to avoid pregnant · 임산부 화장품
What it is
During pregnancy, certain topical ingredients are flagged for caution either due to documented or theoretical risk to the fetus. Routines simplify around safe humectants, soothing ingredients, and physical sunscreens.
한국어 설명
임신 중에는 일부 외용 성분이 태아에 대한 입증된 또는 이론적 위험으로 인해 주의 대상으로 분류된다. 루틴은 안전한 보습제·진정 성분·물리적 선크림 중심으로 단순화된다.
Common triggers
- hormonal shifts
- melasma onset
- new sensitivity to previously tolerated products
K-beauty approach
K-beauty playbook for pregnancy: centella, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, and mineral sunscreen. Avoid retinoids, high-strength salicylic acid, hydroquinone, and high-dose vitamin A. Always confirm with the obstetrician — fragrance and essential oil sensitivities also rise.
한국어 설명
임산부용 K-뷰티 권장: 시카·나이아신아마이드·히알루론산·글리세린·판테놀·물리적 선크림. 레티노이드·고함량 살리실산·하이드로퀴논·고용량 비타민 A는 피한다. 어떤 결정도 산부인과 의사와 상담 후 확정 — 향료·에센셜 오일 민감도도 상승한다.
