Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Activist Skincare as of 9/4/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

Hi, I’m the founder of Activist Skincare. Thank you for this article! In the three products mentioned above, salicylic acid is used at a 0.75% concentration in Calming Force Clear Skin Serum, sodium salicylate is used at a 0.5% concentration in Active Hydration Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum, and licorice root extract is used at 0.3% in Healing Water Toning Mist and 1% in Calming Force Clear Skin Serum. I hope this additional info may be helpful to someone 🙂
