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. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from ESPA as of 11/3/2020. 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.
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!
Regarding the ESPA 24hr replenishing moisturizer which is listed as safe for pregnancy, I noted it has myrrh in the cream. I understand myrrh is known to cause uterine contractions? Is still safe to use? Thank you.

Hi! I see you listed Energising Body Oil as safe. It contains essential oils which is usually a no-no during pregnancy. Can you confirm its safe to use on body while pregnant?
They’re fine. Discussion in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
I can’t see restful bath & body oil or resistance body oil in the list. I don’t think there are any bad ingredients in either but wanted to check.
