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 The Face Shop as of 3/31/2019. 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 that I’m based in the US and had a difficult time locating these products for US buyers (about 90% of my readers are in the US), and I likely am missing some products. Please be kind if I am missing your favorite product on this list, in particular this brand attracts people who have been downright rude to me. I’m deleting those comments and will soon start blocking IP addresses if this continues. I didn’t skip your product to make you angry, I did it because I didn’t know it existed.
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.

May I know which word is equivalent to Licorice becos I cant find it in the ingredient.

May 20, 2019 at 8:33 amDipotassium Glycyrrhizate is one of the common licorice root derivatives. I look for Glycyrr and when you google that’s always related to licorice root.

June 9, 2019 at 11:48 amThe day cream has a salicylate and chemical sunscreens I would avoid while pregnant, it is ok for nursing.
The soap has salicylic acid, again ok for nursing but not while pregnant.
The others are all ok for pregnancy.
Of note, the Night Cream 2 I don’t have any confidence that it does anything other than moisturize, the hydrolyzed elastin and collagen won’t be absorbed and used by your body at all. Collagen can form a “film” on the face when applied topically, smoothing things out a bit, but that’s not helpful at night. So if you want to pare down your routine at all, I would avoid that one.
