Understanding 1–10 Ratings
Scores of 8–10 indicate generally safer options with no major flags. Scores of 6–7 mean use with caution — safe for some stages but not others, or limited data available. Scores below 6 indicate significant concern. Ratings are stage-specific and informational only.
Ingredients to Watch
Skincare: Retinoids, high-dose vitamin A, salicylic acid, parabens, phthalates. Supplements: Fenugreek (avoid in pregnancy — safe for breastfeeding only). Food & drinks: High-mercury fish, alcohol, unpasteurized products, excess caffeine.
When to Ask Your Doctor
Use MamaKind as a starting point. Always confirm supplement choices, skincare changes, and herbal products with your midwife, OB, or family doctor — especially in the first trimester.
