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 every pregnancy safe skincare product from Avene as of 2/15/2025. 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.

Hi Dr. – can you please note as to why the Avene Micellar Lotion/Water is not safe for pregnancy, but OK for nursing? It didn’t have a specific ingredient noted next to them as the other products listed do.
Many thanks!
Gia
That’s just a copy and paste error, I write these lists in HTML because it is faster but it’s an eye boggling mess in the editor, so sometimes I think I’m in the right spot when I paste in the product name, but i’m not! That’s why I paste in the name and then immediately type out what the ingredients are, on occasion I put things in the wrong spot. I missed fixing this one. It’s safe!
OK great – thanks so much for clarifying! Your posts have been extremely helpful throughout my pregnancy <3
Hi Dr. Christine,

Hi Doctor,
Im extremely grateful for the work you are doing..Can you please tell me if i can use the following product during 3 rd trimester of my pregnancy and during nursing since i live in a extreme humid place and my pores are getting bigger and bigger everyday because of too much of oiliness on my face..
Its a korean product and says its safe to use during pregnancy and nursing but i want to take ur advice
The product is Slurp Niacid
Ingredients list is:
pharmacuetical transDermal{Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Tranexamic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Brassica Oleracea Capitata Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract, Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate}distillated
Link : https://slurp.co.kr/products/niacid
I wouldn’t use this while pregnant due to the snail secretion (it’s mostly just an unknown, no data that it is bad), but the willow bark is considered a salicylate and needs to be avoided during pregnancy. It is ok for nursing.
I would look into a Clarisonic actually. It can be used with your regular face wash, but the sonic cleaning action has been shown to help clear pores more than other cleaning actions, and it gently exfoliates the skin.
Thabk you so much
The PhysioLift Eyes Wrinkles contains Retinaldehyde but is currently under your “Pregnancy Safe” list. Could they have reformulated since you last reviewed it? I included the full ingredients below for easy reference.
WATER, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, GLYCERIN, ISODECYL NEOPENTANOATE, PPG-15 STEARYL ETHER, CETYL ALCOHOL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, DIMETHICONE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM EXTRACT, BHT, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CETEARETH-33, DISODIUM EDTA, RETINAL, SODIUM DEXTRAN SULFATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, XANTHAN GUM
Thank you!!
I’m glad you caught that! I do go through line by line, but I’m always worried I’m going to catch some ingredients (in case my eyes go all buggy) and I search for a set number of terms to catch these things, and “ret” (to catch the beginning of different retinoid chemicals) is one of them. I didn’t catch this one, I just moved it down to the correct category. I could have been reformulated, or sometimes the ingredient lists online just aren’t correct 🙁 That’s why I recommend checking your products too. Thank you for your help!

Hi Dr Christine,
I’m desperately looking for a tinted moisturiser with SPF and I’m very hopeful about this one (fingers crossed).

Yes glad I took the time to compare just in case.
Thank you Doctor! 🙂
Hello Cristine, would you be so kind to review the Hydrance Light Spf 30 sunscreen emulsion? Does it contain chemical sunscreen? Is it safe for pregnancy?
Thank you!

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreens
Dear Christine,
What do you think about METHYLENE BIS-BENZOTRIAZOLYL TETRAMETHYLBUTYLPHENOL [NANO], is it safe to use during pregnancy or for SPF for 3 year old children? Most all of Avene SPF products contain this ingredient. C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE is also very used in their products.
Thank you very much!!
C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE is a conditioning agent that helps hold everything together that is fine for a kid and during pregnancy.
METHYLENE BIS-BENZOTRIAZOLYL TETRAMETHYLBUTYLPHENOL is Tinosorb M, a chemical sunscreen. That should be avoided during pregnancy but it is fine for a 3 yo. It should be avoided for kids under 12 months.
Dear Doctor,
Your website is my number 1 website! I would like to thank you sincerely…
May I ask you to review if I may use this cleansing bar during pregnancy?

Oh my god.😍
Cleanacne expert does not have AHA orBHA? I have heard it before and I think I read it somewhere
Those ingredients look fine to me!
Maybe in the previous products I have now in Asia there is aha/bha?and they have been removed over time?
Brands frequently have different formulations for different stores, countries, and they reformulate without announcing they did so.
So on this account, can I use this product during pregnancy to control pimples, oil and blemishes on my face? Because it is very effective in these cases
Yes, it’s ok for pregnancy and nursing
Hi!
Could you please review the following product “Avene Cleanance Micellar Water – for oily, blemish-prone skin”.
Here is the list of the ingredients:
AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER (AVENE AQUA). BUTYLENE GLYCOL.PENTYLENE GLYCOL.PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC. GLYCERIDES. PEG-40 HYDROGENATED. CASTOR OIL.CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE.CITRIC ACID.FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).ISOPROPYL.ALCOHOL.PEG-6 SILYBUM MARIANUM FRUIT EXTRACT
I have noticed that the “normal” micellar water from Avene is already on your list and has been classified as pregnancy safe products. However, the “Cleanance” micellar water has different ingredients so I’m not sure if it’s safe as well.
Thank you for your help!
I didn’t know there was another variation. 🙂 This one is also fine for pregnancy and nursing.
Hi Dr. could you please review if the below product is pregnancy safe? Thank you.

Is it safe for pregnancy?
I don’t consider this pregnancy safe due to the chemical sunscreens. It’s fine for nursing.
Discussion here: Why does X Brand say this product is safe but you don’t think it is safe? (or Vice Versa)
I guess they think that the product provides high protection and is therefore suitable for pregnant women and children. But they do not take into product whether the ingredients are safe. Many women will read this on their website and buy the product without further consideration.
Yes, there are a lot of products out there like that.

Also there are so many acids in every shampoo and body wash and i do not know which ones to avoid..any recommendations? From brands like Avene, Aveeno, La roche posay etc.. Thank you in advance!
Yes, they’re all safe. Info on what to avoid here: ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Safe for pregnancy and nursing, but it looks cut off. Make sure there’s nothing after the water!
Thanks so much! It was only the closed bracket that was missed off, no other ingredients:) Thanks for your help!
I was hoping that was the case, but wanted you to check 🙂 I feel better then!
Hi Dr,
Thank you for doing this for us. This is very helpful!
The product I want to ask about is the Gentle Toning Lotion. I understand you categorize it as pregnancy safe. The reason I want to confirm with you, is that I saw fragrance is at second place of the ingredients list. Is fragrance in skincare safe to use during pregnancy?
VÈNE THERMAL SPRING WATER, FRAGRANCE, HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE, PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, STEARALKONIUM HECTORITE, TRISODIUM EDTA, WATER.
I have rosacea and this toner may be the only one that doesn’t cause flare up so I am actually very eager to continue using it.
Thank you so much for your help!
Fragrance is fine. Everything you need to worry about is in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Thank you so much for this resource. I use it a lot and share with family & friends.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreens
Hi Christine, thanks for putting this together. “XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream” is listed here as safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, which I assume pertains to use by the mother. Would this product also be safe for use on the baby (currently under 6 months of age ) to help soothe eczema-prone skin? I am a bit concerned about the safety of certain ingredients in this product such as rose hip oil, as I’ve read mixed information on whether it’s appropriate/safe for babies.
Just for your ease of reference, the complete ingredient list for this product is as follows: AVÈNE THERMAL SPRING WATER, GLYCERIN, MINERAL OIL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, OENOTHERA BIENNIS OIL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, AQUAPHILUS DOLOMIAE EXTRACT, ARGININE, CARBOMER, EVENING PRIMROSE OIL/PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS, GLYCINE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TOCOPHEROL, WATER.
Please advise. Thank you!
It would be fine for baby though note we do say that it’s best to avoid extracts/fragrance if possible for baby’s skin as they tend to be very sensitive. This seems to not have much of that, but there are products out there with a LOT that are marketed for baby. I typically recommend Cetaphil cream, Aquaphor, Vaseline (really) or Vanicream for babies with eczema.
Thanks for the reply and I really do appreciate your input on this! Agree with the Vaseline, but the greasy texture makes it a difficult choice!
Hello Dr!
I was looking at the Avene Mineral Tinted Compact SPF 50. Looking at the ingredients it has Talc, and I swear you said something about this but I cannot find it in your blog. Of course I could be wrong and see it else where. But what are your thoughts about Talc?

There’s some discussion in this comment, but it isn’t something that I’d worry about.

Hello doctor,
Can you tell me if this ingredients from :
Mineral Lotion sun protection SPF 50+, Avène:
TITANIUM DIOXIDE
DIMETHICONE
are not carcinogenic to baby?
Things you need to worry about while pregnant are here:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Hi! I noticed the xeracalm oil cleanser has evening primrose oil in it. Confirming that this is pregnancy safe? Thank you!
Yes, it’s fine.
Hi Doctor,
What are your thoughts on Sodium Benzoate in skincare products? Is this an ingredient to avoid when it’s in other uses? Is it a dangerous ingredient when mixed with Ascorbic Acid in skincare?
I think it’s fine in skincare in pregnancy, and I don’t know of any physicians recommending avoidance based on current evidence. Those that say it is dangerous when mixed with other items are underestimating the effect of other ingredients in the products as well, such as stabilizers and such. I think this is one of those TikTok things where when you talk to actual dermatologists and cosmetic chemists doesn’t actually make any sense scientifically.
Hi, please help me check for the following. Thank you!

Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing due to the bakuchiol. Oddly there isn’t a chemical retinoid added despite the product name, but the bakuchiol works via the same mechanisms and I screen it out just the same.

Hello Christine!
I’d like to ask about Intense Protect fluid SPF 50 that you’ve already reviewed here. You mentioned it’s not safe for pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen. But is it safe for using on children? (1 year old). The package tells it’s safe for babies over 6 months but now I’m worried if it’s true cause as I know chemical sunscreen can affect hormonal system after just one use. Could you help with that please?

We say to only use mineral sunscreen on little ones 6 months and older, and you can use chemical older than 12 months. So it would be fine. The data about endocrine disruption is felt by the majority of the medical community (of which I’m a part, and this is when I’m at national meetings or discussing with other physicians, or on our national forums online) because the studies aren’t well done. The evidence we have doesn’t support avoidance, right now the risk/benefit of these ingredients points towards benefit due to the UV exposure otherwise. There certainly isn’t evidence that 1 use would cause clinical harm. I would likely re-evaluate where you have gotten that information from, as I find it highly suspect.
Thank you so much for your reply. I certainly saw it somewhere (and I’m constantly reading different materials about children), but I trust you more on that for sure.
I specially bought a 100% mineral filter SPF but the child developed rash to it, so I’d like to switch to the cream I bought for myself which is this Avene.
Thank you so much for such a detailed answer.

Oils are all made with chemical sunscreens, not physical ones. I don’t think any exist that are pregnancy safe.
thank you so much. is there a french pharmacy body sunscreen that is pregnancy safe? i can’t seem to find in either milk or spray or any format?
There are very few spray sunscreens in general that are pregnancy safe because of the way they are formulated. They typically need a salicylate added in there, and the physical sunscreens don’t work as well in them. That’s even beyond the issues with application/inhalation of spray sunscreens.
can you share a name of any pregnancy safe sunscreen that can be bought in french pharmacy? or there is none?
doesn’t need to be spray it can be any for at of a sunscreen?
thank you so much
I don’t live in France, I’m in the US. I don’t know what you have access to exactly in your pharmacy.
there is many brands –
vichy
bioderma
avene
la roche posay
clarins
claudalie
eucerin cerave
dr haushka
…
many of the brands you reviewed but i struggled finding any approved sunscreen.
i just found out i am pregnant and i go today to a vacation so don’t have time to order a specific sunscreen from internet but have to get it at the pharmacy from available brands.
thank you so much
All of those brands have their own page on my site.

Hey Christine it also mentions ANGIOPAUSINE I’m not sure what that means it’s not listed in the ingredients list but it says it on the box under this description and also on the website on Avene.
innovation: (ANGIOPAUSINE™] 6%: An ingredient with patented* properties, that helps reduce the appearance of redness.
*Patent pending in France.
It’s a milk thistle extract, which is fine.
Thank you so much for the info, it is much appreciated!

Hi,
Please could you review this Avène Cicalfate Restorative Lip Cream for Chapped, Cracked Lips 10ml for safety in pregnancy? When comparing the one I have with the one linked above, the ingredients list is slightly different (maybe as I purchased in the UK). I’m super cautious about what I put on my lips due to increased risk of accidentally ingesting some of it!
