Pregnancy safe skincare 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. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe skincare from Alpyn Beauty as of 8/8/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean. Unfortunately, currently none of the Alpyn Beauty products are pregnancy safe. Some of the products are ok for nursing.

🙂 It’s hard sometimes to spot things in the big lists, I honestly do the find feature on some of the pages and search for partial names. Sometimes things are names slightly different things depending on the retailer, so full names don’t work.
