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 AHAVA as of 4/29/2022. 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.

Hi,
I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. It’s been getting worse after I got pregnant and I’m so desperate. Would you please be able to tell me if this probiotic soap is safe to use during pregnancy?
Thank you so much in advance.
*Probiotic Soap*
Contains Lemon and Tea Tree oil as well as lemongrass – offering a powerful antifungal cleansing action. Also contains the Candida Freedom Formula of Bacillus Coagulans, Aloe Vera and Alpa Lipoic Acid
Candida Freedom Probiotic Soap is made in small batches and contains no synthetic fragrances, colors, lathering agents or preservatives and is 100% biodegradable
Strong enough to cut through dirt and grime, powerful enough to maintain healthy skin and assist with relieving skin discomfort, but gentle enough to use as a face soap as well as a daily bar soap
Contains Olive, coconut and palm oils. Essentials oils including tea tree, lemon and lemongrass. Candida Freedom Formula (bacillus coagulans, aloe Vera, alpa lipoic acid)
Thank you!
I’m sorry, I can’t tell as this is a featured ingredients list and not a full ingredient list. I know for sure that head and shoulders green apple shampoo is safe while pregnant. The zinc does wonders for my Sub Derm, I put it only on the area affected and leave it there while conditioner sits on my hair for a few minutes. I hope that helps!

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen
Thank you so much for tackling this! Is this the same one as listed under the safe for pregnancy and nursing list? What is the chemical sunscreen ingredient called? I’d like to look for it in my other products now as well.
The chemical sunscreen is Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
Hi,
I’m looking for this AHAVA product.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hi! You have the extreme night treatment on both the ok and not ok list. Would you be able to advise if it’s safe for pregnancy?
They used to have 2 slightly different versions, strangely enough. It looks like they got rid of the safe one, it’s redirecting to the non-safe version now.
Hi there! Curious if Ahava’s Liquid Dead Sea Salt is considered pregnancy/nursing safe:
Maris Aqua (dead sea water/osmoter), aqua (mineral spring water), polysorbate 20, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, hydroxyethylcelluloae, PVP, citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel oil, tocopheryl (vitamin E), acetate, dunaliella salina (dead sea alga) extract, hydrogenated polydecene, arginine.
Thanks for your help!
