Salicylic Acid: why it is flagged

• Pregnancy: Salicylic acid (BHA). Low-dose salicylic acid in washes is often considered acceptable, but high-strength peels and leave-on use are commonly flagged. Check strength with your doctor.

Not medical advice. These checks read the published ingredient list against public rule lists; results vary from person to person, formulas change, and ingredient lists can be incomplete. Ask a dermatologist or your doctor (and in pregnancy, your midwife or obstetrician) before relying on them.
