Good morning
I use Implanon NXT as a method of contraception. I use cosmetics containing tea tree, lavender and soybean oils. I have read that they can affect estrogens, showing estrogen-like effects. Is the use of such cosmetics safe for the contraceptive effectiveness of Implanon NXT? Especially if I use them every day.
I would also like to ask if tranexamic acid in cosmetics can affect the contraceptive effectiveness of Implanon NXT? I use it every day.

So what cosmetics can penetrate the bloodstream?

You can use cosmetics containing the ingredients listed. The skin is a tight barrier and only a few active substances can pass into the deeper layers and penetrate the bloodstream. There is no need to worry; The implant is not impaired.
In case of any doubts, you can use a teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
