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.
Here you’ll find every pregnancy safe skincare product from Derma e as of 12/11/2022. 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.
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!
Absolutely so happy that I found your blog. I’m pregnant with baby number 2 and have been searching high and low for skin care that is safe for me to use. With my first I was so clueless about skincare that I didn’t use any my entire pregnancy and my skin really suffered. With this second pregnancy I actually own more than half the pregnancy safe products on the derma e list and it makes me so happy that I can still use them!
Hello, you say you can’t use the hydrating gentle cleanser because of retiniod, but I don’t see that listed in their ingredients.
It’s the Retinyl Palmitate in the complete ingredient list.
Hello! Amazon sent me the wrong eye cream but this one is not on the list and wondering if I can keep it to use in pregnancy? Thank you!
Purified Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Plant Derived), Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Stearyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Coco-Caprylate (Coconut Derived), Glyceryl Stearate (Vegetable Derived), Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Diheptyl Succinate, Dimethyl MEA (DMAE), Lycium Barbarum (InstaLift® Goji) Fruit Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Centella Asiatica Meristem Cell Culture, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl® synthe’6®), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline®NP), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid; Actimoist®Bio-1), Thioctic (Alpha-Lipoic) Acid, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Ester), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Resveratrol, Copper PCA, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Caffeine, Butylene Glycol, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Vegetable Derived), Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
I’m not certain if the Centella Asiatica Meristem Cell Culture 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.
It’s otherwise ok for pregnancy and nursing, so it’s really up to you.
Is the vitamin C No dark circles perfecting eye cream ok?

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Thanks a lot for all the efforts!
Hello, I just wanted to raise your attention to something- I bought the advanced peptide and collagen serum thinking it was pregnancy safe. On their website the ingredients look fine, but then it arrived and retinyl palminate is listed as one of the ingredients on the box. Is this ingredient safe still for pregnancy or should I not use this serum? Thankyou so much for your time and putting this list together.
Oh no! They must have reformulated but not updated info anywhere, I agree with you, I don’t see it listed in the ingredients on their website. I’m glad you checked! It isn’t safe. I’ve updated the post to reflect this info.

Hello,
Love that you have this-it is so helpful!
I am not seeing the Derma E products: Blue Light Shield Concentrated Serum or Ultra-Hydrating Alkaline Overnight Facial.
Thank you 🙂
I have currently reviewed all products in this brand that I can. If I have not reviewed your products, I require a full ingredient list to review your product, more info here:

Would the safe products be the same as of today? I use the vitamin c cleanser and I just ran out and found out I was pregnant. Being the second pregnancy, I remembered not all facial cleansers and creams are allowed.
Anyways, would the DMAE cleanser and the vitamin c serum be safe still? How about vitamin E IU 14000 plus safflower seed oil (its an oil product) ingredients state: carthamus tinctures (safflower) seed oil and tocopherol acetate (vitamin e)?
I’ve been using the derma e line for the past year and it has changed my skin for the better, so I want to make sure I dont let my skin get bad again even though I know my pregnancy is number 1. Thank you so much!!!!
If the products haven’t been reformulated they should be the same safety category

Thank you in advance!
This is fine for pregnancy and nursing
hello! I love the website, it is really well laid pout and easy to search for stuff. The one question I had is that you say you will note why the item is not pregnancy safe but I can’t seem to see where you have written that? Or is it that the ingredient you write next to the product not in bold, is the one that should be avoided?
I am specifically looking at some of the Derma E Acne serums / creams, are the ingredients to avoid Salicylic Acid and Willow Bark (Salicylate)?
The Acne Rebalancing Cream isn’t on here (I think it may be fairly new this summer) but I assume that is one to avoid while pregnant as it’s active ingredient is Salicylic Acid?
Thanks so much!
Yes, the ingredient next to each product is the one to avoid. Sometimes people disagree with me and don’t care about Licorice root for example, so if they know I was only worried about licorice root in a product it would be important. I tried to make it pretty obvious for each product.
The acne rebalancing cream may have been released after my last full brand review, but if it has salicylic acid I wouldn’t recommend using it while pregnant.
Hi! Can you review this for safety?

Thanks so much!!
Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylic acid
Licorice root is fine for babies, though I would be careful with products with many extracts, they tend to cause reactions and babies tend to be very sensitive.
Hi, I just found out I’m pregnant, and have been using Derma E for awhile now (without knowing I’m pregnant). I just tossed aside the products I know I absolutely cannot use anymore, but, not sure of a few of these, if you wouldn’t mind taking a look. Thank you!!

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to stem cells
Hi Doctor,
Thanks so much for your site. Just checking if the current ingredient list for the Vitamin C serum is still ok as it has Green Tea extract? Are you alos able to review the second ingredient list for Tru Skin vitmin c serum? I can’t find it anywhere else on your site.
Thanks so much.
1) Purified Water, Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C, Stay-C 50), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Microcrystalline Cellulose (Plant Derived), Cellulose Gum (Plant Derived), Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide (Vegetable Derived), Polymnia Sonchifolia (Yacon) Root Juice, Maltodextrin, Lactobacillus (Probiotic), Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract *, Allantoin, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Plant Derived), Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance Oils.

Green tea extract is fine. I wouldn’t have screened it as safe otherwise. What you need to worry about is here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
Both of these products are fine for pregnancy and nursing.
Hello and thanks for all of the resources you provide. Wondering if you could review the Derma E Thickening Shampoo. Especially wondering about the ingredient Tocopheryl Acetate (since it’s sometimes connected to Hydroquinone). Thanks so much!
Water (Aqua), Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glyceryl Laurate, Polysorbate 20, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Panthenol, Sea Salt, Menthol, Menthone Glycerin Acetal, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Bakuchiol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Vegetable Collagen, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
Tocopheryl Acetate is vitamin E on it’s own, if hydroquinone was involved it needs to be labelled as such. The bakuchiol is a retinoid though, I would avoid in pregnancy and nursing.
Hi! Your site is SO helpful!!! Thank you so much!!
I have a quick question about the Derma-E DMAE firming eye cream you have listed on the “safe” list. When I click on it, it takes me to Amazon but it’s the Derma-E Stem Cell lifting eye cream. (I don’t see it listed as safe or not safe.) Can you help clarify, please…..which is safe or are both safe? 🙂
Thanks again!
They likely reformulated or discontinued the product and redirected the link to the new product that they recommend to replace it. If you look in the post, I always post the date of my last review, which in this case was 2 years ago. A stem cell product wouldn’t be safe for pregnancy, sorry!

The struggle out there is real! I have gone through my beauty and skincare supplies more than once to get rid of toxins, but now that I am pregnant, I am ruthless with ingredient lists. Most things are straight forward, but there is other conflicting information. I feel really good using your list to cross reference with my information and my increasing mama-intuition. Thank you so much for doing the research and having this all in an easy-to-use place.
I’m so glad it was helpful 🙂
I love referencing your site for safe products!

Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Hi there, I recently purchased the Derma-E Hydrating Day cream, which you have on the “not safe for pregnancy or nursing” because of the retinoids, but I do not see any retinol or retinoids in the ingredients list ..is it possible they changed the formula and it is now safe?
Per the brand’s site these are the ingredients:
Purified Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Plant Derived), Cetyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Stearic Acid (Vegetable Derived), Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Vegetable Derived), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Ester), Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Xanthan Gum, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract*, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Allantoin, Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance Oils.
The retinoid is there still, this is it: Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A)
Hi I’m sorry im so confused if I should be using this product or not. I have two that you listed as not safe for nursing due to Vitamin A. My box says nothing about it but it is listed on the website ingredients. Someone questioned them and they said uts because it’s less than 1% vitamin A. Is it something I should be avoiding while nursing?
Discussion on % and why that isn’t something I pay attention to: But what about this % of an ingredient?
Retinoid avoidance in nursing is something that more physicians are recommending now, so I’ve followed suit but it isn’t really based on any new data. It’s one of those things that is based on your comfort level. I didn’t avoid them while nursing (my youngest weaned about 5 years ago), but I do recommend it now just because so many others are.
How about Derma E Eczema Relief Cream?
Active Ingredient: Collodial Oatmeal 1%
Inactive Ingredients: Allantoin, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Arctostaphylos, Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetyl Alcohol, Chamomila Recutita (Matricaria) Flower, Coco-Caprylate, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fagara Zanthoxyloides Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Purified Water, Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate.
This is fine for pregnancy and nursing
Hello,
Derma E vitamin C serum was on your list but I don’t see their vitamin C weightless moisturizer with spf 40. Is this safe?

Thank you so much! I’m so sorry, it looks like the last few ingredients were cut off when I posted. Please see below for the full list.
Active Ingredient: Zinc Oxide 20%
Inactive Ingredients: Apium Gravelones (Celery) Seed Extract, Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cocoglycerides, Diethylhexyl Succinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ethylhexyl Olivate, Glycerin, Isostearic Acid, Jojoba Esters, Lauryl Glucoside, Lecithin, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract, Natural Fragrance Oil, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Purified Water, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Carboxymethyl Starch, Sodium Phytate, Sorbitan Trioleate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Titanium Dioxide, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Xanthan Gum.
Safe for pregnancy and nursing
How about their Vitamin C Brightening Glow Facial oil? I notice it contains titanium dioxide; isn’t that toxic?
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Helianthus Annuus (Sunower) Seed Oil, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Seed Oil, Curcuma Longa ( Turmeric) Root Oil, Zingiber Ofcinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Natural Fragrance Oils.
No? I’ve never heard that. It’s a super common physical sunscreen…
This looks safe for pregnancy and nursing to me.
Hi Doctor! May I ask if you’d consider these safe? I noticed you mentioned this eye cream as unsafe for pregnancy due to Retinyl Palmitate… However, it seems like Derma E has been changing their ingredients list over some time that local stores have quite a variety of “updated ingredients” depending on which batch of product. In my case, the “box” of these items in my local store mention these as the ingredients. (Note that the eye cream does not mention Retinyl Palmitate on the box… Although, would the overall ingredients list still be OK?)
Thank you very, very much!

As listed, both of these are Safe for pregnancy and nursing as long as that’s what is really on your box. I agree it seems like supplies are mixed out there, so I’m purposefully dragging my feet on updating, I’m afraid I would say it was safe and someone would get an old box and it wouldn’t be safe 🙁
Thank you Doc! I keep coming back to your blog, before purchasing new items (especially if they’re not in the list of items you’ve already so generously reviewed!) I don’t know how much I could thank you — but all your immense work in this blog, and your continuous activity, is so truly appreciated. ☺️ Onwards to healthier pregnancies! (And healthier skincare 😊 ). Thank you, and have a blessed weekend!
So glad I could be helpful!

#2 Safe for pregnancy and nursing
Its a general question . Is urva ursi (bearberry ) leaf extract on scalp or skin safe while nursing or/and pregnancy
It’s fine
I’m now on my 2nd week of embryo transfer thru IVF. I overlooked on my Vit.C brightening cleanser. And been using it to wash my face ever since. But I just usually quickly wash my face. Like I don’t let it soak in my face. Just wash and rinse kind of thing and then dry up. Should I worry?
Cleansers leave behind ingredients, which is why you still need to worry about them. I would switch products.
Thank you very much with ur prompt reply. I already toss it aside, but is just worried since I used it for more than 2 weeks during my embryo transfer. Hope it didn’t left any traces that would affect my baby. But good thing I noticed the ingredients sooner.
Hi! According to Amazon, the ingredients to the Hydrating Eye Cream were updated. This is the list of the new ingredients as of 7/2021:
“Purified Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Plant Derived), Stearic Acid (Vegetable Derived), Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Cetyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Vegetable Derived), Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Ester), Pinus Pinaster (Pycnogenol®) Bark Extract, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract*, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Xanthan Gum, Allantoin, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin. 7/11/16 EC 2/24/17 updated product name; 6/29/18 updated formula 1/6/20 CA SF 4/22/20 CA 7/21/21 – Removal Retinyl Palmitate ANTI-WRINKLE”, Vitamin_c, Hyaluronic_acid, Vitamin_e
Hope it’s okay because I’ve been using it assuming it’s safe!!
Note, this ENTIRE post was updated on 12/11/2022, much more recent than the date you have mentioned. The ingredients on Amazon are not very accurate for most brands, I review directly with the ingredients on the brand’s site, I never rely on Amazon. Per the brand, the retinoid is still present, full list below.

Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to stem cells
Hello, wondering if their liquid vitamin c peel is okay to use while nursing:
Purified Water, Lactic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Kojic Acid, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Bromelain, Ascorbic Acid, Panthenol ( Vitamin B5), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica), Gluconolactone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hyaluronic Acid,Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Maltodextrin, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol.

I’m not certain if the leontopodium alpinum (edelweiss) 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.
