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 every pregnancy safe skincare product from Dr Roebuck’s as of 4/26/2019. 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.
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

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.
• Surf Chaser Reverse Aging Serum: Bakuchiol has been touted by brands as a “natural” retinoid that works just like chemical retinoids, for this reason I’m including it as an ingredient to be watched.
• Tassie Anti-Pollution Serum: Retinoid

April 27, 2020 at 2:03 pmApologies, it seems that I didn’t paste the last ingredient which is Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) leaf extract. Is this also ok?

May 6, 2020 at 12:23 pmHi! I am looking at the True Blue Hydrating Serum and it has retinol listed in the full ingredients. Does that remove it from the pregnancy safe category then?

Which doesn’t have the same ingredients. The version I’ve linked to is safe.

The list I found was the same from both Sephora in Singapore as well as Dr. Roebucks’s website (including Retinol). Odd, perhaps they changed the formulation.

May 7, 2020 at 7:16 amThat’s the key- Singapore. I’m in the US, and as stated on my site I review the US versions of products as 90-95% of my readers are in the US. International versions can be different.
