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 Coppertone as of 3/7/2025. 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.

I see the butyloctyl salicylate but where is the chemical sunscreen? In active ingredients it only lists zinc oxide 24.08%. Thanks.
The ones under “active ingredients” are being used as topical drugs to achieve their SPF value. Brands put chemical sunscreens in products all the time (even night creams) to prolong the shelf life. In this product it’s the ethylhexyl methoxycrylene
