Pregnancy Safe Products from AlumierMD

Pregnancy Safe Products from AlumierMD

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 AlumierMD as of 10/1/2024. 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.

Yes, I still answer questions about product safety! You must follow these guidelines. Any rude comments or those not following the guidelines will be removed. This means full product name, ingredient list, and each product must either be on the proper brand page or the brand list page. I won't accept comments in the wrong spot.

You can check the pregnancy beauty FAQ for many answers. Also check out which makeup and hair products I think you should worry about. Additional info about: perfume, nail polish and sunless tanners

      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.

        Stephanie Quinn said:

        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 😊

    Mon said:

    Hey, is the acne clarifying cleanser okay to use since it has less than 2% of salicylic acid in there? I read that if it’s less than 2% it’s okay. Please confirm. Thankyou!!

    • 5.6.21
      Christine said:

      No, there’s no evidence to support it, the 2% is because every over the counter has <2% salicylic acid, in the US that's the threshold between over the counter and prescription.
      Discussion here: But what about this % of an ingredient?

    Annabel Rose said:

    Hello, I just wanted to double check about Hydralight please. It contains LACTIC ACID/GLYCOLIC ACID COPOLYMER
    Is this ok? Fingers crossed as I love it! Thanks

      Christine said:

      It’s not! I don’t think that was there when I last reviewed it, it may have been reformulated 🙁 Moving it’s category now.

      As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product as I’ve reviewed all of the ones I have access to. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list. Note, I just redid this brand a few days ago, and that product was NOT on their site. Thanks!

    Hi, can you please check if the AHA renewal serum is safe during pregnancy ?
    Here is the full ingredient list from their website.

    8% Lactic Acid: Naturally found in milk and part of the alpha hydroxy acid family (AHA), lactic acid is biosynthesized for cosmetic formulations. It exfoliates cellular debris and enhances cell turnover to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    Arnica: Extracted from the flower heads of the arnica montana plant, arnica has soothing properties.

    Green Tea: Packed with antioxidants called polyphenols, specifically catechins, green tea protects skin from free radicals caused by the sun’s rays and pollution.

    Allantoin: Extracted from the comfrey plant, allantoin increases water content in the skin and enhances exfoliation, improving skin smoothness.

    Vitamin B5: Also referred to as pantothenic acid or panthenol, vitamin B5 acts as a humectant, locking in moisture to hydrate skin.

    Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of hyaluronic acid that hydrates by drawing water into the outer layers from deep within the skin. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making skin plumper, softer and smoother.

    Full Ingredient List: WATER/AQUA/EAU, LACTIC ACID, PROPANEDIOL, GLYCERIN, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ARNICA MONTANA FLOWER EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PANTHENOL, ALLANTOIN, TOCOPHEROL, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE,CAPRYLIC ACID, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, XYLITOL, DISODIUM EDTA, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN.
