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 AprilSkin as of 8/14/2022. 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.

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!
This series is incredibly helpful, thank you! It looks like you have the Carrotene Clarifying Vita pads listed under both “ Pregnancy and Nursing Safe” and “not safe for pregnancy, ok for nursing”.
Can you confirm which is correct? Looks like it should just be in the “not safe for pregnancy, ok for nursing” because of the gluconolactone? Thank you!
Well, that was definitely a mistake! Thanks for catching it, it’s meant to be under the not safe for pregnancy but ok for nursing category only.
Thank you for taking the time to write this! It’s so helpful!
Hello! May I know if this serum is pregnancy safe? Thank you!
