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 pregnancy safe products from The Body Shop as of 7/21/2019. 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.
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.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
Note I’m including products with retinoids here, as those are a bit iffy. It depends on how conservative you want to be while nursing (still absolutely contraindicated while pregnant). Refer to my post on ingredients to avoid while nursing for more discussion.
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.

• Hemp Hand Protector (at ULTA): Hemp Oil, Retinoid
• Hemp Heavy-Duty Body Moisture Protector: Hemp Oil
• Vitamin E Intense Moisturizer: Retinoid

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 !

Pregnancy and nursing safe! 🙂
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 doctor and congratulations about your blog. I am pregnant and I read it as a Bible.

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Until a few days ago I didn’t even know that some skin products are not safe during the pregnancy (so I used products with salicylic acid until almost 7 weeks pregnant 😭) and since then I’ve been stressing so much about what I can and cannot put in my face.. Thank you so much for this! ❤️
I’m glad it was helpful! You can learn more about what to worry about if you’ve been using a “bad” product in my pregnancy beauty FAQ.

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?

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.

Hi I wondered if the body shop vanilla body spray is safe in pregnancy? Also the banana hair mask
Thankyou
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.
Hi, I don’t suppose you know if the hemp overnight rescue mask is suitable for pregnant women. Many thanks xx
I have currently reviewed all products in this brand that I can. I require a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here:
why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety
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.
Is the drops of light range ok to use while pregnant?

I am actively trying to conceive, i see that you listed ‘Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Night Mask’ as a No during pregnancy. Can i use it till I get pregnant and stop once i get a positive test, or should I stop using it from before?
Answer is here: What about if I’m trying to conceive?
Thank you so much for all you do reviewing so many products. I saw you listed the Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream as safe for pregnancy. However the version sold in Europe has a different (longer) ingredient list. Would you be able to confirm if this ingredient list is safe (please, if you have time):
VITAMIN E NIGHT CREAM
Aqua/Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Isocetyl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycine Soja Oil/Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Myristyl Myristate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter/Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil/Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer, Panthenol, Parfum/Fragrance, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Citric Acid, CI 14700/Red 4, CI 19140/Yellow 5.

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.

Hi doctor,
I read many newspaper that pregnancy woman should not drink coffee because coffeen affects baby badly, however can we use product have coffee ingredient like Nicaraguan Coffee Intense Awakening Mask? Can coffee absorb to skin and affect to our baby?
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.
Thank you. Sorry Dr I must have missed the products in the list, I did go through the list and make note of the products I had on my list. I must have just missed them. Sorry for creating more work.

Remember that most hair masks are NOT meant to be applied to the scalp, and as such you don’t need to worry about it. Info here: Hair products to worry about
can i use any mask? I only use it on the ends of my hair.
Is it the same with conditioner?
Thank you very much!!!!
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!

DROPS OF YOUTH™ BOUNCY JELLY MIST
Dear Doctor, I would like to check if DROPS OF YOUTH™ BOUNCY JELLY MIST is suitable for pregnancy and nursing period?
Ingredients:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Propanediol, Betaine, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Calcium Lactate, Gellan Gum, Parfum/Fragrance, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract, Linalool, Citronellol, Citric Acid, Crithmum Maritimum Extract, Eryngium Maritimum Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Limone, Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract, Xanthan Gum.
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 🙂
Well received information 😊 Thank you for your fast reply Doctor! 🙏🏻❤️

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.
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.
Is this safe for pregnant?
