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 BeautyCounter as of 3/24/2023. 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!
Hi again Christine,
I was also wondering what are the possible risks of gluconolactone for pregnant women? Unfortunately, before I saw it on your website, I went to Beautycounter and purchased the touchup concealer pen, which you list as unsafe during pregnancy, and was told by their manager and sales person that all their products were pregnancy safe. So I purchased it, and have been using it during my entire first trimester. :\
I’d really appreciate your help!
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid, functionally the same as an alpha hydroxy acid. Technically not the same and they haven’t made some lists to avoid during pregnancy, but since they’re thought to act the same way I added the polyhydroxy acid to my list.
You can read more about what to do if you’re using an “avoid” product during pregnancy.
Hi! Your site is a literal wealth of knowledge – THANK YOU! I’m curious if the BeautyCounter “Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum” is pregnancy and/or nursing safe.
Link: https://www.beautycounter.com/product/countertime-tripeptide-radiance-serum
Ingredients list from the above link:
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Maris Sal/Sea Water/Eau de mer, Squalane, Bakuchiol, Rhododendron Ferrugineum Extract*, N-Prolyl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-56 Acetate, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ectoin, Phytic Acid, Arginine, Lecithin, Panthenol, Pullulan, Silica, Potassium Sorbate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sclerotium Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum.
*Alpine Rose Extract
I would avoid it during pregnancy for sure and likely during nursing as well if you’re being conservative. The issue is the Bakuchiol, which is the “natural retinoid”. I can’t find a mechanism of action anywhere for it, but many brands claim it “works just like retinoids”, so until I can confirm how exactly it is working I treat it like a retinoid.
Hello,
this must be a new product from beauty counter. Is the Body Oil in Citrus Rosemary safe in pregnancy/nursing?
here are the ingredients:
Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange) Peel Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Oil, Rosa Canina (Dog Rose or Rose Hip) Fruit Oil, Citrus Grandis or Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea-Buckthorn) Fruit Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil
It’s ok! I think I must have stopped part way through the body products, I was missing a bunch. I’ve just finished them 🙂
Hi!
Do you have any updates on use of Bakuchiol during pregnancy?
I don’t, sorry.
Hi, do you have any further updates on Bakuchiol during pregnancy at this time? Thank you!
I don’t, no info has come out. I literally just responded about this to someone else about an hour ago (on another post), here’s what I said:
I don’t really have any info about bakuchiol. I haven’t found any safety information/studies, and I can’t even confirm it’s mechanism of action. Just suddenly it showed up in a bunch of products with many of the brands saying it “works just like a retinoid”, which to me implies that it works via the same mechanism (again, which I can’t confirm). So for now I’m screening it out as a retinoid to be on the safe side.
Any update on bakuchiol and if it’s safe for pregnancy and nursing?
It works via the same receptors as retinoids, and hasn’t been studied on it’s own but it’s very easy to say that it’s the same and therefore should also be avoided. I’ve been fully screening it as a retinoid for some time now. Note, Bidens Pilosa (also sometimes called a “phyto retinol”) works the same way. I’ve found as many products as I can with this ingredient, but I started screening that as a retinoid in the spring of 2022.
Hi,
I believe the current formula for the Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation has Gluconolactone 🙁
Oh no! You’re right. I just bumped it down 🙁
Hi, I wasn’t able to comment on another note general makeup related thread, but since Beautycounter has a liquid eyeliner I thought I’d ask here – would you classify the liquid eyeliners along with pencil eyeliners, in that it is a product you wouldn’t have to worry too much about when pregnant? Or should liquid eyeliners go through the same evaluation as any other liquid makeup? Please let me know. I will include the ingredient list if you think it is something worth looking at. Thanks!
They basically form a film on the skin and I don’t think they really get absorbed. I wouldn’t worry about it 🙂
BeautyCounter just released their holiday collections and I’m hoping you can give your input on the better balm duo.
https://www.beautycounter.com/product/better-balm-duo
Ingredients: Better Balm Untinted: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Olus/Vegetable Oil/Huile végétale, Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Octyldodecyl Shea Butterate, Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract, Vanillin, Bidens Pilosa Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Glyceryl Caprylate.

Both look ok!
I’m confused. Why is gluconolactone not safe during pregnancy? I looked on EWG and rating is a 1. Can you please explain? I was thinking about getting the tint skin from beauty counter, but not if the gluconolactone is bad for pregnancy.
EWG isn’t considered to be very reputable by most of the medical community. They’re known for misinterpreting many studies, they’re mostly a lobbyist group really.
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid, basically like an alpha hydroxy acid that can more easily penetrate the skin. More info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Dang- I really wanted the make-up. Is gluconolactone found in good too? What foundation would you suggest? Something without a bunch of synthetic chemicals and safe for pregnancy.
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid, I would avoid them similar to alpha and beta hydroxy acids.
I have a huge post on pregnancy safe foundations
Thank you for all you do! What are your thoughts on the Counter+ Charcoal Cleansing Mask?
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Kaolin, Charcoal Powder, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Illite, Glycerin, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Xanthan Gum, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf, Olea Europaea (Olive) Seed Powder, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Powder, Salicylic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Extract, Allantoin, Lactic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.
Doh! It has salicylic acid. Ok for nursing but not pregnancy 🙁
Thank you so much for this incredibly informative compilation! Would you happen to have any comment on the safety of the use of castor seed oil in the lip products? It seems to be contraindicated in pregnancy but perhaps the small volume makes it safe?
Cheers!
It’s not something that’s included on topical precaution lists for the reason you stated, it required such a large amount orally to “work” in that matter that we don’t worry about it in topical forms like this.
Hi! I was curious about the No. 1 and No. 2 facial oils that were discontinued and perhaps reformulated? They are now sold under a different name(e.g “Counter+ No. 2 facial oil.”)
Here are the Ingredients For Counter+No. 2 facial oil: Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina Seed Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil*, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Peel Oil Expressed, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Jasminum Grandiflorum (Jasmine) Flower Wax. Limonene+, Linalool+, Citral+, Citronellol+, Geraniol+, Eugenol+, Benzyl Alcohol+, Benzyl Benzoate+
*Organic/Biologique

This is ok for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you!!! I really appreciate what you do!
Hi Christine,
I wanted to find out whether Beauty Counters newest cleansing balm was safe for pregnancy. I can’t access the old balm to compare the ingredients though I know you listed that one as safe.
https://www.beautycounter.com/product/counter-plus-lotus-glow-cleansing-balm
Thanks!
This is safe for pregnancy and nursing!
(This is the Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm for anyone looking)
I’m confused, here you say it’s safe for both pregnancy and nursing but in the portion at the top it is listed as ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
This comment is from 2020, the post was updated in January 2022. PLEASE look at the dates. BeautyCounter frequently reformulates. Looking back at old comments that refer to old forms of the product won’t be valid. Many of the comments are also from around the world. I can see people’s IP address from my view, but you can’t. Many brands have different versions between the US, Canada, the EU and Asia. Only look at comments if you can see the stated ingredients are IDENTICAL to your packaging.
Hi! I was just introduced to Beauty Counter- I’ve always been weary of MLM companies but am interested in their Charcoal bar soap. I’ve used Biore Charcoal face wash for years, even my last pregnancy not realizing salicylic acid is a no no in pregnancy. So I guess I’m just looking for your honest opinion about BC and the bar soap as I’m pregnant again- I haven’t been using much on my face as I don’t wear a lot of makeup ever but my skin is changing and I need now something! If not a huge fan of BC do you have any recommendations on other Charcoal face washes?
Thank you, thank you!!!
I haven’t used their bar soap before, but it’s pregnancy safe. I’m very unconvinced that charcoal does much for the skin, I would think that a gentle face wash is more than enough.
Thank you! I’ll just stick with a gentle face wash 🙂 One more question- I’ve been using Dr. Bronners Pure Castile soap, it’s listed as a safe body wash on here but just saw on here you’ve flagged products with hemp oil which the body wash has in it… now I’m worried!
I don’t think all of the Dr. Bronners products have hemp, at least not all of the ones that i’ve seen. Hemp is likely fine most of the time, I just don’t always trust all of the “new” brands out there, esp the CBD things, to truly not have THC and be ok for pregnancy/nursing. Dr. Bronners has been around for forever… it’s up to you but even with the hemp probably ok from that brand.
Hi! This is an awesome resource. Thank you for all you do! Is the Beauty Counter Super-Duper Clean Kids Body Wash safe? I was wondering about this since the baby gentle wash is not safe.

Hi Christine, this website is amazing–thank you. Most of the websites I’ve read don’t say anything about using skincare products with petroleum-type ingredients (e.g. paraffin, propylene glycol) while nursing, but a few say to avoid them. What do you think?
If it helps, I’m looking at the three following products:
Ling Ginseng Therapy Moisture Mask, which contains: AQUA (WATER), PROPYLENE GLYCOL, POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, GLYCERIN, CARBOMER, PANAX GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, HYDROLYZED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS, PHENOXYETHANOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN
The spotlight papaya resurfacing peel: AQUA (WATER), PARAFFIN, STEARIC ACID, TRIETHANOLAMINE, POLYETHYLENE, PAPAIN, DMDM HYDANTOIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, DECYLENE GLYCOL, 1,2- HEXANEDIOL
Volclayno charcoal detox mask: WATER, KAOLIN, BENTONITE, GLYCERIN, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, MAGNESIUM ALUMINUM SILICATE, CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS (SAFFLOWER) SEED OIL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, MICA, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, BENZIMIDAZOLE DIAMOND AMIDOETHYL UREA, CARBAMOYL PROPYL POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, CETEARETH-20, BUTYROSPERMUM PARII (SHEA) BUTTER, LEVAN, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) LEAF EXTRACT, PHENETHYL ALCOHOL, ZIZIPHUS JUJUBA SEED EXTRACT, CITRIC ACID, ASCORBIC ACID, SANTALUM ALBUM (SANDALWOOD) WOOD EXTRACT, OCIMUM BASILICUM (BASIL) FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT, CITRUS LIMON (LEMON) PEEL EXTRACT, PYRUS MALUS (APPLE) FRUIT EXTRACT, ELETTARIA CARDAMOMUM SEED EXTRACT, RUBUS IDAEUS (RASPBERRY) FRUIT EXTRACT, LAVANDULA ANGUESTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT, CUCUMIS MELO (MELON) FRUIT EXTRACT, ROSE EXTRACT, IMPATIENS BALSAMINA FLOWER EXTRACT, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, CHARCOAL POWDER, DISODIUM EDTA, XANTHAM GUM, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, IRON OXIDES, FERRIC FERROCYANIDE, PHENOXYETHANOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, BLUE 1
Again–thanks for being such an amazing resource. I’d been using BeautyCounter assuming all was safe and tonight based on your list am realizing I needed to do more research 🙁
There’s nothing to suggest the petroleum based products should be avoided in pregnancy or nursing, especially during nursing as we frequently recommend them for use on babies. It’s much more about the mechanism of action of ingredients and how likely they are to penetrate the skin deeply and then circulate within the body.
All of these products look ok for pregnancy and nursing.
Thank you so much–especially for the incredibly quick response!
Hello,
Thank you for all your helpful information. What do you think about the research that says salicylic acid is OK during pregnancy <2% concentration? (For example, BeautyCounter claims their products are all below this threshold. Seems like a hard thing to validate, though.)
It isn’t validated at all. In order to know what percent is safe, you need to know if it is safe to begin with, which we don’t really know. There are too many variables to say what % is safe anyways. Absorption will be changed a lot by application, if the skin is inflamed when you apply, etc.
Hello. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I saw the previous post about the new Counter+. oil 2. What about the Counter+ Oil 1?
Ingredients: Rosa Canina Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil†, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil*, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Tocopherol, Phytosterols.

Hello- thank you for this amazing information. I hope I’m not missing this, but I’m not seeing beautycounter’s “mattifying powder” here. Thanks so much!
Ingredients: Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Lauroyl Lysine, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163).
It’s a powder so you don’t need to worry about it. Please refer to the bolded paragraph in the post.
Hello! Thank you so much for all your information – I am loving using your site for pregnancy safe products! I was wondering if you could possibly do an updated Beauty Counter list as several items are no longer available? It doesn’t look like they have any of the nourishing or rejuvenating products anymore, and they also have new counterstart products 🙂
Thank you so much!
Some of the newer are here in the comments, people ask if they want to know. I haven’t had time to add them yet as I’m working a lot due to CoVID. I’m trying to leave the older up because they were still actively being sold until very recently, so I get asked about them via email if I take them down too soon.
Hello Doctor! I was wondering about Beauty Counter’s new deodorant.

Both are ok for pregnancy and nursing
Hi! I bought this Color Pinch Cream Blusher in Hibiscus from BeautyCounter and the ingredients on the website are different than the ones on the box. Are both versions of the ingredients ok for pregnancy?
Here are the ingredients on the box:
Ingredients: Jojoba Esters, Diisostearyl Malate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Isopropyl Palmitate, Microcrystalline Wax, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Silica, isotearyl alcohol, Mica, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, malic acid, Iron Oxides. Red 7 Lake, Titanium Dioxide, Blue 1 Lake
And here are the ingredients on the website: Ingredients: Jojoba Esters, Diisostearyl Malate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Isopropyl Palmitate, Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire microcristalline, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Silica, Mica, Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de candelilla, Cera Carnauba/Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090)
Also, is this Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick in Petal: Light Pink okay for pregnancy?
Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate, Jojoba Esters, Octyldodecyl Ricinoleate, Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax)/Cire microcristalline, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract*, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de candelilla, Ethyl Vanillin, Tocopherol, Tin Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI77492).

I *just* a few days ago added the lipstick and blush to this list. I review with the lists on the website, and I review all of the colors. Your lipstick is fine, and the list from the website of the blush is fine.
Your blush that’s different has malic acid, which I would avoid in pregnancy. I haven’t heard of BeautyCounter sending out products with different ingredients before (Kiehl’s does this all the time and then people come and yell at me), but it isn’t like you’re international in LA… 🙁
Yes, the blush the Color Pinch Cream Blusher in Hibiscus that was sent to me “Cream Blush” has malic acid in the ingredients. I’ll be sending that back. So frustrating! How can they get away with putting different ingredients on the box? And, yes, I’m in California, so not international. Were you able to talk to the brand about this? I feel like this is something others should know about. Happy to send you a photo of the ingredients on the box if you’d like.
This is something they all consider covered in the disclaimer that ingredients might be different from the ones online. I don’t have any contacts with BeautyCounter, so I wouldn’t be able to help with anything, unfortunately.
Hi Christine,
Wondering if you would look at the ingredients I have listed below for the new BeautyCounter deodorant. Is this pregnancy safe?
Zea Mays (Corn) Starch*, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Sodium Bicarbonate, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de candelilla, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Jojoba Esters, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Tocopherol, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Alcohol, Hexyl Acetate, Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil, Dimethyl Heptenal, Raspberry Ketone, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Schinus Molle Oil, Citric Acid. Citral+, Citronellol+, Limonene+, Geraniol+, Linalool+
Thank you!!

The Clean Deo is already in the list above under safe for pregnancy and nursing.
Hi there!
My husband & I are trying to conceive & I regularly use the Countermatch line. Specifically, the adaptive moisture body lotion, face moisturizer, & eye rescue cream. I didn’t realize until coming across your list that salicylic acid was not safe during pregnancy. I keep finding contradicting info online. Here’s an excerpt from a Parenthood Magazine article, “ Topical salicylic acid is pregnancy-safe, according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. But more research is needed to determine if there are any adverse risks to the developing baby-to-be.” Can you provide more insight into this ingredient? Is it a no no mostly due to the fact that “more research is needed”? Thank you so much for your help & time! -Kaitlin
Pretty much. ACOG suddenly started saying it was ok after years of not ok, and no new info had been released, so not everyone agrees. There’s discussion in here:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Hi! Is Benzyl salicylate different from salicylic acid? I noticed that the balancing face oil 3 is listed as okay to use during pregnancy but it contains this ingredient. Just curious!! Thank you so much.
Ugh… Thank you for catching that! I swear it wasn’t there on my last review (just a few weeks ago!) but sometimes they change things on me. It’s in the same family but not exactly the same, but still needs to be avoided. I just fixed it.
Thank you so much for responding! Sometimes the ingredients listed on the website are different from the ingredients listed on the packaging. So frustrating! Thank you for all your hard work–this site has been a lifesaver for me.
Yes, it truly drives me bonkers with some of the brands.
Hello. The amount of the ingredients you are listing as unsafe are below the threshold to cause any harm. Is that not something to take into consideration about these products?
The idea of a “safe threshold” is something that cosmetic chemists talk about, but physicians don’t agree with. Discussion here: But what about this % of an ingredient?
Hello! I have been really trying to clean up my products to become pregnant. I saw your list and have been going off of that, but some of the productions are for like oily skin and I don’t see one that is more for my dry skin or the ones you did review they no longer carry. I am looking at the countertime products as I don’t see you have reviewed them and checked the comments.

https://www.beautycounter.com/product/countermatch-hydra-gel-radiance-toner
Thank you.
These are both already in the list actually. The toner is ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate, the eye cream should be avoided in both pregnancy and nursing due to bakuchiol

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hi, I have a quick question about the Beauty Counter Counterstart Cocoboost Moisturizer. I trust that it is safe for pregnancy since you list is as safe for pregnancy:). Curious to know what “allantoin” is since I never heard of that ingredient before? I looked it up and it looks like a diureide of glyoxylic acid. Is this a hydroxy acid? Is allantoin safe for pregnancy and nursing?
Counterstart Cocoboost Moisturizer ingredients
Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Olivate, Bisabolol, Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol.
Everything I’m worried about is in this post:
skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I have not left out any ingredients I’m worried about. I am not worried about that ingredient, and don’t know of any other physicians that are worried about it. It’s involved in wound healing and is found in many plants.
Hi! Do you know if the brilliant brow gel is considered safe during pregnancy? I am unsure if the different colors matter.
Aqua/Water/Eau, Coconut Alkanes, Silica, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba*, Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Glycerin*, Sorbitan Olivate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Sambucus Nigra Fruit Extract, Octyldodecyl Oleate, Gluconolactone, Magnesium Myristate, Magnesium Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Zinc Stearate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Sodium Benzoate, Calcium Gluconate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

It’s a mascara for the brows, so you don’t need to worry about it. Refer to the bolded paragraph in the post 🙂
Thank you! I don’t have very thick eyebrows so the gel definitely touches my skin a little bit. I assume the ingredients are still safe if they do end up touching skin a little bit?
yes, they form a film like eyeliners do
Just to confirm since the eyeshadow isn’t safe that is liquid, this also contains gluconolactone.
It’s basically a mascara film former and due to the form can’t be absorbed so doesn’t even need to be screened.
thanks so much for all you’ve put in to this site!
can you advise on safety for the beautycounter skin twin creamy concealer? this ingredient list is specifically for shade “fair 2” :
Aqua/Water/Eau, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate, Coco-Caprylate, Glycerin, Oleyl Oleate, Lauroyl Lysine, Gluconolactone, Magnesium Sulfate, Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Polygonum Aviculare (Knotweed) Extract, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Sodium Chloride, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Benzoate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Calcium Gluconate, Potassium Sorbate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

Thanks!
Safe for pregnancy and nursing
I do think you might be overthinking things a bit though, take this as permission from me to not worry as much about this stuff. Tiny exposures like accidentally getting some on your eye or washing your hands with the wrong soap a few times won’t matter, it’s more a concern with consistent exposure. I hope that helps 🙂
No problem, thank you!!
Also with their new lid glow cream shadow they have the gluconolactone but didn’t know if this doesn’t apply since it is an eyeshadow although still liquid.

I recently purchased the BeautyCounter Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum; however I noticed bakuchiol on the ingredients list. Is this product listed as pregnancy safe because of the low amount of it? I’m newly pregnant and want to double check to be sure. Thank you!
No, it’s because I’m also human and I missed it in the ingredients. I fixed it, thanks!
Hi, Just noticed the Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer is in two categories – safe for pregnancy/nursing and ok for nursing but not pregnancy. Assume it is in the “ok for nursing but not pregnancy” category because of the Gluconolactone?
That’s odd, I’m not sure how that happened. You’re right! I took out the duplicate.

Is Salicylic Acid safe during nursing? I keep seeing online it isn’t safe to use during nursing but it’s listed as safe here. I was looking at the counter match serums, eye cream, moisturizers that all contain it.
I’ve never seen that it isn’t safe in nursing, it’s controversial in pregnancy but universally thought to be ok for nursing.
Is the alcohol in the all bright c serum safe for nursing? I wasn’t sure how that affects milk and if it gets into milk.
It’s fine. It’s extremely different than what you would drink.
So the alcohol in the tinted moisturizer is safe as well then? Thank you so much. As a FTM I’m overly cautious about everything I am using!
Yes. I’ve already screened out everything you need to worry about.

Hi Dr. Christine, I know you mention we don’t need to worry about mascaras, but this new mascara from BeautyCounter called “Think Big, all-in-one mascara” has Polylactic Acid (not sure if this is a hydroxy acid). It is also advertised as having “Tripeptide technology: A blend of lash-care conditioners helps lashes appear longer, fuller, and stronger” and “Panthenol (provitamin B5): Nourishes and conditions lashes, while biotinyl-tripeptide helps support stronger, healthier-looking lashes” – All this mention of technology is puzzling so I wanted to make sure this is safe for pregnancy and nursing?
Here is the ingredient list:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Synthetic Beeswax, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Acacia Senegal Gum, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de candelilla, Polyurethane-35, Polyglyceryl-2 Isostearate/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer, Aminomethyl Propanediol, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Panthenol, Pentylene Glycol, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Polylactic Acid, Cellulose, Methylpropanediol, Cellulose Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Silica, Phenylpropanol, Phenoxyethanol.
Please read this: You said I don’t need to worry about this product type, why won’t you review it anyways?
These specialized mascaras still work as mascaras, they’re conditioning the lashes like a conditioner. You are still unable to absorb anything.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Titanium dioxide is fine, but I’m a bigger fan of regular than nano, as I think there’s emerging evidence that the nano physical sunscreens get absorbed. I find that a bit worrisome.
Hi,
Wanted to ask if the super quench body butter by beauty counter that I’m using is pregnancy safe?? Thank you!
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. Thanks!

No, that was a different PHA. I just redid this list with the newest formulation, it’s fine.
Hi Dr.
