Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Paraben is usually the preservative in most of the cosmetics. When used topically, there is no risk of systemic absorption. It does not affect the fetal growth and can be used in pregnancy. We could guide you much precisely if you mentioned the creams which you intend to use.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
