       Ok for pregnancy and nursing: #1, #2, #4, #5

       Here’s my info on hemp, though note that #3 has that and a retinoid which I would avoid anyways in pregnancy and nursing
       There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
       Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

       Thank you for reply. I used it 1 time, all over my body and on 2nd time I got a crazy rush all over my body, like a sunburn (I washed it off and calmed it down with Avene Cicalfate) So it`s a no for me 🙁 Sadly, because it has really great moisturising qualities! I do not want to discourage nobody from using this product (only for nursing, as Dr said 🙂 because each skin is different !

       Thank you again and love new newsletter btw!!

   First of all, thanks for what you are doing! This website is so helpful!

   I am a little bit confused about the pregnancy safe hair products. What is your thoughts and rules on shampoo/conditioner?

   I am asking here because I was searching for pregnancy safe shampoo and the Body Shop ginger shampoo is one of the products I used to like. Also brands like Aveda, Lush, etc.

   Or do you have any personal favorites that you would recommend?

   Thank you so much!

   The ingredient list of the body shop ginger:
   Aqua/Water/Eau, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Piroctone Olamine, Panthenol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Benzoate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Dimethicone Propyl PG-Betaine, Mel/Honey/Miel, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Sodium Salicylate, Salix Alba Bark Extract/Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Parfum/Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Linalool, Limonene, Betula Alba Bark Extract, Sodium Acetate, Zingiber Officinale Root Oil/Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Citronellol, Citral, Citric Acid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Eucalyptol.

     Per my discussions with OBs, you don’t need to worry about hair products at all, hair is basically dead protein and can’t absorb anything.

     The only caveat that I usually add is that if you’re one who applies shampoo directly to your scalp and lets it sit there for a few minutes it isn’t that much different from a face wash. So I would check shampoos then. This shampoo has willow bark, a salicylate. And a 2nd salicylate. So, I wouldn’t apply it that way if you want to continue using it. It would be fine during nursing. I hope that helps!

    Hi! I noticed that the TTea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash is listed not safe for pregnancy because it contains Avobenzone.

    However, I recently browse through their ingredients and I find these:

    Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Polysorbate 20, Alcohol Denat., Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Panthenol, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil/Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Benzoate, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Allantoin, Menthol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Leptospermum Petersonii Oil, Tocopherol, Sodium Hydroxide, CI 19140/Yellow 5, Caramel, CI 42090/Blue 1.

    I don’t know if they are changing some of their ingredients, but is it safe for pregnancy?

    Thank you

      Here’s my info on hemp:
      There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
      Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

      The other ingredients are all ok. I don’t feel comfortable saying this is safe due to the hemp, so it’s up to you.

      Body spray is basically perfume and a hair mask is a conditioner. I don’t review either product category. Perfumes should just be sprayed on your clothes instead, and your hair can’t absorb anything so no need to worry.

      There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
      Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

      Mascara you don’t need to worry about, so I don’t screen those. Info here: Pregnancy Safe Makeup

      The shampoo and conditioner are both fine for pregnancy and nursing, though note since you shouldn’t be applying the conditioner directly to your scalp (just to your hair) you don’t need to worry about it either as your hair can’t absorb anything itself.

      In the US we think 1 cup of coffee per day with some caffeine is ok while pregnant. Topical use is fine. If you’re concerned I would discuss with your OB.

            Yes, any hair product that you don’t apply to the roots/scalp is fine. This is true for most styling products, masks, conditioners, etc. No need to worry about the ingredients and you can use anything you want. It makes life much easier!

       I’m not certain if the Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       All of these are Ok for pregnancy and nursing. Application location doesn’t matter (it can’t penetrate through all of the layers to actually reach baby), we worry about penetration of ingredients down to the vasculature supplying the skin and then travelling around the body that way 🙂

     Hi, the drops of youth bouncy eye cream that you say is safe for pregnancy has stem cells in, which you also have products containing that on the not safe list with stem cell written in brackets.. So I’m slightly confused. Is the drops of youth eye bouncy cream safe to use due to its stem cell ingredients? Thanks.

       Christine said:

       Unfortunately, the link to the exact product I reviewed (which was in 2019) no longer works, so I think that’s a new version of the eye cream, so it isn’t the one I screened (I just removed it from the list).

       I screen out stem cells, though I’m also dependent on the brand to reveal that they are using stem cells. There isn’t a standard way to have stem cells in ingredients, so it isn’t always obvious. If they don’t call it out in the copy, then I have no way of knowing unfortunately.

     You have the Coconut shower cream listed twice – once under safe and once under unsafe for pregnancy due to salicylate. I am not seeing any salicylic acid in the ingredients in 2023. Is it safe?

       There were previously actually 2 identically named but different coconut shower creams (my husband and I had a discussion about it, he truly hates coconut and we had this big thing about why are there 2 and why are they different? It was pretty funny) The one with Salicylic Acid appears to be gone, my link just went to shower gels (so I just deleted it). Luckily they kept the one that is pregnancy safe! 🙂

             Thank you so much for what you do.
             You say above that the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying GLow Mask is safe for pregnancy; however, it has Magnesium Aluminum Silicate. Isn’t aluminum something to avoid during pregnancy? Can you please clarify this doubt for me? Thank you so much!

             There’s some discussion on Aluminum in the pregnancy safe deodorant post, but it is NOT considered something to avoid by the medical community, just by brands that sell non-aluminum products.
             Note, given the thousands of hours (truly) that I’ve spent developing this site and the ingredient lists, I wouldn’t just randomly decide to ignore 1 ingredient in 1 product.

     I’m not sure if it’s just in Europe, but the formulation of the Strawberry hand cream seems to have changed as now they have Salicylic Acid in the ingredients (and the packaging is also different). I compared with an older version that I have at home and the formulation then didn’t have Salicylic Acid. So we need to be alert at all times, right?!

       This is something that varies by country, I review the US versions. But any brand can reformulate at any time, so you need to always be looking even when repurchasing something you had before.
