Pregnancy Safe Makeup and Skincare from Benefit

Pregnancy Safe Makeup and Skincare from Benefit

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 Benefit as of 11/26/2022. 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.

      This has a retinoid and a variant of gluconolactone (a poly hydroxyacid). So it isn’t safe during pregnancy and if you’re on the conservative side it’s one to avoid during nursing as well.

      It forms a film on the skin and isn’t absorbed (most brow products are like that, it’s why I don’t review them)
      More info here:

      But this list is fine for pregnancy and nursing.

    Hi! Thank you for putting these guidelines together.
    They’ve been incredibly helpful and really helped med navigate a sometimes difficult world with pregnancy – safe make up. I read your notes about products for brows in general, but I’d love to hear your perspective on the following product:

    Product: Divaderme Brow Extender II Chocolate Brown

    Ingredients: Cellulose, Panthenol, Kaolinite, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Panax Quinquefolius Extract, Boswellia Serrata, Aloe Barbadensis, Urtica Dioica Extract, Ocimum Basilicum Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract.

    I was a little bit in doubt given it also claims to help eyebrows (which may indicate that it connects with the brow/skin).

    Thank you loads in advance!

      The brow gel is the same as a mascara, which you don’t need to worry about as it’s only applied to the hair, which is dead protein and can’t absorb anything. The brow pencil is just like an eye liner, it creates a wax film that doesn’t get absorbed. Both are fine in terms of ingredients, but I haven’t reviewed these products because they’re ones you do not need to worry about. You can shop for products like them without worrying about if they are safe or not. πŸ™‚
