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 Dr. Schrammek as of 2/20/2022. 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.

Hi Dr!
I was wondering if you could tell me whether a Green Peel (it’s an herbal peel) by Dr Shrammek is safe during pregnancy, particularly the first trimester? I tried to find the ingredient list, but I can’t. However the website says that no chemicals or acids are used, so theoretically we are not using AHAs or BHAs. I also saw that some websites say it’s fine, and others suggest to stay away from it due to inflammation of the skin (more a reaction of the woman’s skin as opposed to harm to the fetus). So I was wondering if you might have a better idea. Here is the link to their website and FAQs on green peels:
https://www.drschrammekusa.com/green-peel/
I have not reviewed this product as I can’t get the full ingredient list. I can’t answer.
I’ve looked it up on Google and this is the ingredient list I could find. I’m not sure it’s exhaustive but these are at least the main ingredients:
The GREEN PEEL® herbal mixture consists of powdered leaves, flowers, sprouts and roots from selected plants. Six plants play a unique role in the herbal mixture. These are Horsetail, Aloe Vera, Ribwort, Lungwort, Pansy and Marigold. Some of the herbs have been used as a medicinal plant since the middle ages.
The website says that they use various herbs, enzymes, algae and minerals.

I can only answer with a full ingredient list. This is only a list of partial ingredients, and the brand won’t release it. I can’t answer safely, sorry.
No problem! Thank you so much for your help.
