Hi Christine!

I came across your very useful website as I was quite overwhelmed with what I can and can’t use (also a lot of conflicting information on certain ingredients).

Wanted to ask your opinion on Edible Beauty’s Precious Sea Hand Cream and whether that is truly pregnancy safe (they note it as pregnancy safe but with your previous comment regarding the cleanser, I don’t trust it as much anymore)?

The current ingredients list is:

Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Camellia Oleifera (Camellia) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin*, Cetearyl Olivate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*, Euphorbia Cerifera Cera (Candelilla) Wax, Sorbitan Olivate, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil*, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil*, Hydroxyacetophenone, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Callitris Columllaris (White Cypress) Leaf/Twig Oil, Xanthan Gum, Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extr act, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Pleiogynium Timorense (Burdekin Plum) Fruit Extract, Podocarpus Elatus (Illawarra Plum) Fruit Extract, Sodium Phytate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Peel Extract, Ulva Lactuca (Seaweed) Leaf Extract, Melaleuca alternifolia (Snowflower) Cellular Extract, Sodium Hydroxide.

*denotes organic ingredient #nature identical preservative ^food-grade preservative

Thank you for your help!!

In reply to Claudia. There's discussion on the bakuchiol option here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

Hello Christine, I appreciate so much what you are doing. It is amazing!!! I have now chosen edible beauty as my pregancy care range:). They have on their website a ‘natural retinol’ option, called beauty reset drops:
Here the ingredients:
Squalane, Bakuchiol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Orchid Extract, Magnolia Officinalis (Magnolia) Bark Extract, Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) Leaf Extract, Citrus Paradisi (Pink Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Limonene^.

^Naturally occurring constituent in essential oils.

I have never used retinol, and don’t dare to start it now, but this sounds quite good. What are your thoughts on it?
Thank you so much,
Claudia

In reply to Ashley. It matters when it's listed as a separate chemical. When included in extracts and oils it's different and fine. The ingredient list is only oils, not a chemical retinoid in site. It's fine.
