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. 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 products from AlumierMD as of 2/11/2021. 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.
Please refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, brow products, etc. I do not review these products.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about AlumierMD on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!

That’s fine! I just added it to the list. I went through all of the products (I thought) but they may not have had that listed because you need to buy at a doctor’s office and can’t online here? Not sure. I’ve added it now though. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this! Most of the products recommended for me are safe in pregnancy, although I am a bit peeved that 2 facialists have told me clear shield is ok and then seen it has salicylate in it! I need to find a new spf.
I think estheticians don’t have training in what to avoid. My OB was very clear (and as a pediatrician I agree) that salicylates should be avoided.
Yes, I’d definitely rather be as safe as possible, just feel bad I used in my last pregnancy and up to 13 weeks of this one. But I know I try my best to use pregnancy safe products. I’ve seen the comment above and will give the moisture matte a try. Thanks for your work 😊
