    Good morning! I am wondering if the ingredients in Lume deodorants are safe for use during pregnancy. Their website specifically says that they are safe for pregnancy and nursing and that “the percentage of essential oils and natural botanicals in our scented formulas are between 1-1.5%.” I am wondering how safe they are to use in “private” areas during pregnancy. I ordered a few samples to try out. Can you let me know if the following are safe for use during pregnancy? They all have the same ingredient list, which I included below. However, they do not disclose what the “naturally derived fragrance” is. Should this be a concern? I got a sample pack with these fragrances: lavender sage, jasmine rose, clean tangerine, sweet lily, and warm vanilla.
    Thank you!

      In theory some fragrances have salicylates in them, but when I have spoken to OBs about the fragrances and needing to avoid them, they’ve said that it isn’t a concern. I think that part is kind of up to you.

      For this product I would avoid in in pregnancy due to the mandelic acid, but it’s ok for nursing.

      If you look at the list there is already a large number of hair care brands included. Round ups are a bit troublesome since it’s extremely difficult to go back and update them with reformulations, it is much easier to do so with brand lists. Note, you do not need to worry about most hair products, discussion here: Hair products to worry about

      That’s not exactly what I said about hair products actually. Discussion is here: Hair products to worry about

      But I’ve pretty consistently (for years) said that you only need to worry about hair products that you’re applying the scalp. Things like serum for the ends of your hair can’t be absorbed (hair is dead proteins), but applying a serum to the scalp isn’t really any different than applying to your face. It’s all about location really. Note, this is a pretty conservative stance, I have been told by many OBs not to worry about any hair products at all. I worry about shampoos, scalp treatments, root lifting products, and if there are any other products that you’re applying directly to the scalp or root area. Usually this isn’t conditioner, since you should only be applying that mid-shaft to the ends. I hope that clarification helps!

      All 3 of these products look fine for pregnancy and nursing.

    Just wanted to comment that ACOG says topical salicyclic acid is fine for use in pregnancy. As OBGYNs we prescribe aspirin to pregnant patients all the time for beneficial reasons (honestly probably moving towards prescribing for all pregnant women) which is an oral form of salicylate. No reason to cut out a product for JUST presence of salicylic acid.

      I’m not certain if the Buddleja Davidii Meristem Cell Culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

      I’m not certain if the Buddleja Davidii Meristem Cell Culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

      The only ingredient I see of concern in each of the products (and they both have it) is stem cells. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. I’m pretty conservative on my calls for which ingredients to include in my “avoid” list, and sometimes I DO think I was overly conservative to include stem cells. But I still kind of give them a bit of side eye, if that makes sense LOL
      So, kind of up to you and how comfortable you are with the stem cells 🙂

     Dear Christine, a friend of mine just referred me to your site and I am quite stunned about the information you have collected. I live in Australia, so my product of choice is not listed amongst the many products you reviewed… is it possible to have a look at Bescher (www.bescher.com.au) and in particular the Serum:
     Aqua, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Hyaluronic Acid, Marine Soluble Collagen (Sea Cucumber Collagen), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis, Callus Culture Extract, Polyquaternium 7, Sodium PCA, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Benzoate, Gluconolactone, Calcium Gluconate.

     As well as the face cream
     Water, Glycerin, Macadamia oil, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Squalane, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Carbomer, Marine Soluble Collagen (Sea Cucumber Collagen), Acety Hexapeptide-1, Hyaluronic Acid, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Sodium PCA, Polyquaternium-7, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin,Triethanolamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate.

     It would be too good to be true if they were both pregnancy and nursing safe. Thanks already for your help. Ciao Claudia

       The face cream is fine for both pregnancy and nursing 🙂

       The serum though has gluconolactone and likely a stem cell ingredient (Callus Culture Extract is sometimes stem cells, sometimes not). So, ok for nursing but not pregnancy. Sorry!

       This has both salicylic acid and a retinoid. The salicylic acid is ok for nursing (not pregnancy), but the retinoid is something that isn’t as clear cut. I usually put those under avoid in both pregnancy and nursing to make it less complicated, but really retinoids are only for the last couple of years mentioned as something to avoid while nursing. It isn’t based on any actual studies, more based upon people feeling not as comfortable with the retinoids, if that makes sense. I think it depends on how conservative you want to be.

       I’m not certain if the buddleja davidii meristem cell culture is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.
       This also has gluconolactone to avoid in pregnancy

       Tea tree oil is fine in “normal” amounts. You could use straight tea tree oil as a spot treatment for example. But I wouldn’t huge a huge amount over your entire body daily (which I don’t think anyone would) if that makes sense.

     I’m very interested in trying out various OGX products, particularly their “sake essence” line. But would that actually be safe? I’m particularly interested because the shampoo/conditioner I used pre-pregnancy (Ryo) also had ginger as a main ingredient (which is a favorite scent of mine and one of the few that pregnancy hasn’t turned me away from), but the other ingredients in it gave me cause for concern. Here are the ingredients for the OGX products I’m interested in as according to their website:

     Shampoo:

     Conditioner:
     – Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Silk Amino Acids, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Polyquaternium-37, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Glycol Stearate, Ceteareth-20, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance (Parfum).

     Elixir:

       There’s discussion in here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       But basically, you can find info out there about every single possible ingredient. Some essential oils can do that, but you need to ingest very large quantities for that to happen (and ingestion is very different than applying topically), and usually even then it needs to be at the very end of pregnancy when your body is “set up” for them to work that way. So pretty much every physician I know says not to worry about them, as a little bit of sage in a moisturizer can’t do that. This is different than when we say we’re worried about salicylates or a retinoid, as we don’t know the exact levels at which the effects we are concerned about happen. We know that the effects you’re mentioning require extremely large amounts of that ingredient to happen.

     Hello! I wanted to firstly say, you are amazing for taking the time to help out so many women ensure that they are using products that are safe during pregnancy. I know it was something I have been worrying about and I am so glad I found your site.
     I have searched and searched the comments, but I do not see the shampoo I am inquiring about, with the ingredients listed on the bottle, as it’s sold here in Canada (some ingredients are missing or added, compared to what I saw from this brand in the comments).

     The product I am asking about is the OGX nourishing + coconut milk Shampoo. The ingredients are as follows:

     Water (Aqua), Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, sodium chloride, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) fruit extract, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, ovum, Panthenol, Dimethicone, Amodimethicone, Glycol distearate,, Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium-6, Polyquaternium-10, Laureth-4, Laureth-23, ppg- 2 hydroxyethyl coco/isostearamide, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth-12, Tetrasodium Edta, glycerin, propylene glycol, DMDM hydantoin, Fragrance (Parfum), Citric Acid, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

     Thank you so much again, I am so grateful. The pharmacist told me it should be fine when I purchased it, but this week I read something about DMDM hydantoin being dangerous and I was hoping to get clarification here. this is my first pregnancy and I am high risk so I don’t want to take chances. Thanks again!!

       I’ve heard things here and there about the DMDM Hydantoin as well, it’s one of those things that I keep looking for in the medical literature, but I haven’t found anything of concern and I don’t know any physicians that are worried.

       You keep posting this on random other brands, but note every single brand post very specifically states that I will delete other brand requests from those pages, there’s a heading that is big and bold on every page. That’s why you haven’t been answered. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety

       Most extracts are fine topically.

       Ok for pregnancy and nursing: 3, 6

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       1: Gluconolactone
       2: I’m not certain if the Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Callus Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. This also has gluconolactone.
       4: licorice root
       5: gluconolactone

       #1 Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing due to the hemp. This is my hemp blurb, it’s really more up to you how you feel about the hemp, I say to avoid due to the uncertainty.

       There isn’t info out there on the safety of Cannabis used topically during pregnancy or nursing. We do know smoking marijuana with THC has bad effects and should be avoided, though it hasn’t been fully decided if it is just the THC or something else as well.
       Note that in theory Hemp and CBD do not have THC in them, it’s breed out of the plant is the official status. However, depending upon how it was processed many CBD oils will test positive for THC. But there are still the unknowns we haven’t decided about. I would not recommend using Hemp or Cannabis products while nursing or pregnant for that reason.

         Thank you! Quick follow up for you — is it safe to eat hemp seeds or hemp hearts during pregnancy? I’ve seen a lot of recommendations to add it to smoothies because it is a complete protein, but wasn’t sure whether that conflicted with your advice. Thank you again!!

           I think that’s kind of the same discussion about how comfortable you feel. I’ve seen a lot of those same recommendations about eating hemp, and it’s surprised me as I know some in the OB/peds community are leery of hemp (and note, the recs I’ve seen have pretty much ALL come from bloggers who recommend it in sponsored/paid posts). I think the hemp companies are coming out and making a lot of recs seem like a foregone conclusion, but we do have evidence that some plants test positive for things, and we don’t know what is causing issues for sure. I’m very conservative in my recs so I say to avoid it.

     I was hoping you could review the ingredients of this product called OS-01 by this new company One Skin. They are calling it a “topical supplement” and claiming it contains “a proprietary peptide designed to extend your skinspan on a molecular level by improving internal markers of skin health and external markers of skin strength by reducing your skin’s biological age and improving the skin barrier.” Obviously if it’s a “proprietary” peptide, you may not know whether it is safe or not, but I thought I would run it by you.

     Ingredients:
     Water (aqua), Glycerin, Calycophyllum Spruceanum Bark Oleic Extract (Pau Mulato), Sorbitan Olivate, Cetearyl Olivate, Squalane, Carapa Guianensis Seed (Andiroba) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Pentaclethra Macroloba (Pracaxi) Oil, Rosa Canina (Rose hips) Fruit Oil, Prunus Domestica (Plum) Seed Oil, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Glyceryl Caprylate, Decapeptide-52*, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Bentonite, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Cellulose, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate. *OS-01 Peptide

       Flower beauty has been on my to do list for so long that I assumed I had done it already, and actually had to do a quick search of the posts to see if I did it or not, and I haven’t (face palm emoji here). I’ll bump it up higher in the list, I don’t get asked about it very often.

     Hi,
     Thanks for creating such an informative blog – it is surprisingly hard to find all the information that you need to make the best choices when pregnant.

     I know that this is a blog post on skincare but I would really appreciate your guidance on haircare in which I have spent hours googling to come up, almost empty on options.

     Is the Christophe Robin Regenerating Shampoo pregnancy safe;
     Sodium Myreth Sulfate, Peg-18 Glyceryl Oleate/ Cocoate, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil, Opuntia Ficus Indica Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Sodium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Parfum (Fragrance), Glycol Distearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Laureth-4, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Disodium Edta, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Geraniol, Linalool, Limonene, Hydroxycitronellal, Coumarin, Caramel.

     Hi Christine 🙂

     Thank you for providing such a resourceful tool!

     I am suffering from a lot of hip pain at night and I was considering this product from 8 Sheep Organics – Organic Sleepy Lotion (Lavender). The ingredients as stated by the product website are:

     8 Sheep Organics – Organic Sleepy Lotion (Lavender):
     “We use only 6 all-natural ingredients in the lotion (no artificial chemicals or preservatives added): organic mango butter, organic coconut oil, magnesium chloride, organic beeswax (cruelty-free), organic plant-based essential oils, distilled water.”

     Thank you for the wonderful work you provide on this platform 🙂

           I’m not certain if the Symphytum Officinale Callus Culture Extract, is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       Both have retinoids, so should be avoided in pregnancy and nursing if you’re conservative.
       I’d talk to your doctor about alternatives, we have a couple of options for restless legs, though the last I heard a beta blocker was still the medication of choice (not something I treat in hospitalized children). We can use some beta blockers in pregnancy. I don’t know of any topicals that would be useful, as it’s thought to be a neurologic disorder, so a topical treatment for the skin wouldn’t help much. I’m sorry!

       #1 I’m not certain if the MALUS DOMESTICA FRUIT CELL CULTURE EXTRACT is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       #1 I can’t comment on as “Dermawhite” is a made up trade name and not a chemical name, so I’m not sure what it is

       #2 I suspect that you only have a portion of the ingredients (missing key things like preservatives, emollients since it’s a moisturizer, etc). It’s definitely not safe for pregnancy with the chemical sunscreen and salicylate, but I’m not comfortable saying it would be say for nursing for sure.

       #3 Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to chemical sunscreen and salicylic acid

       #4 This has a retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy and in nursing if you’re conservative. It also has Chemical sunscreens to avoid in pregnancy

       I had to close the comments on the sunscreen page to push people over here, they were ignoring the giant paragraph about looking for other brands over here and then I’d get a rude comment like… why isn’t more Avene here?? Because there’s an entire Avene page (I need a face palm emoji here). Just me trying to make people look in the right spot so they can get their info faster 🙂

       You need to avoid both DHA and erythulose, so all products that actually are self tanners or gradual tanners are included.
       This doesn’t look like it’s actually a tanning product, more of a bronzer. Looks fine for both pregnancy and nursing to me 🙂

     Hello,
     Could you tell me if the Clear Zinc Badger Sport Mineral Sunscreen Cream – SPF 40 is safe for pregnancy? I see you have some Badger as safe but I don’t see this one in particular.

     Uncoated Mineral Zinc Oxide 22.5%

     Base Ingredients:
     Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Sunflower Vitamin E.

     Also, their baby sunscreen now has chamomile and calendula in it so not sure if it’s safe. Sorry if it always had this ingredients, it’s just hard to tell for me since in some websites it says unscented and it some it says chamomile. I’ve read that chamomile tea is not good to drink but not sure about on the skin.

     Active Sunscreen Ingredient:
     Non-Nano, Uncoated Zinc Oxide 18.75%

     Base Ingredients:
     Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Sunflower Vitamin E, Organic Chamomile Oil, Organic Calendula Flower Extract, Organic Seabuckthorn Fruit Extract

       #1 I’m not certain if the Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

       #2 Safe for pregnancy and nursing

       #1 Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to glycolic acid
       #2 This has a retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy and in nursing if you’re conservative

       My favorite splurge is the Osea Salts of the Earth Body Scrub, I know there are some safe ones from The Body Shop. The ones you find in a drugstore like from Tree Hut are nice, but tend to have salicylates in them so should be avoided in pregnancy. You might want to consider going old school and making your own with some olive oil and sugar even 🙂

       All of these have cell extracts, and I’m not certain if they are stem cell ingredients. Sometimes stem cells are listed this way, but not always. I would check into what the brand is claiming about stem cells in the product. My concerns are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy.

     What about the brand Degree? I’m using their new body wash “Degree Maximum Recovery body wash and soak” with Epson Salt and Lavender Extract. I read the ingredients and it appears to be safe to use while pregnant but would like it confirmed just in case I missed something. If you could do a review on degree products in the future that would be awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your research, it has helped me a ton!

     Hello ! I would love your feedback on this .. I posted on one of those pregnancy websites and 80% of the comments were other women making fun of me. I am newly pregnant for the 1st time and not sure where to turn for this if I cannot confide in other pregnant mommies. I spoke to my doctor about hair and skin products , I am a bit concerned … I am 4-5w and I spoke to my doctor re: topicals and hair care – thinking that chemicals like salicylic acid and retinoids were a NO NO – but my doctor said to just keep an eye on formaldehyde and preservatives and that topicals are not a concern in low doses while it’s more about what I digest … I really thought that there would be a big list of things I could not take and upon various research, I see that there are things like : fragrance , parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, artificial colors, titanium dioxide and triclosan, to name a few, that I should NOT be putting on my skin. I also asked about getting my hair dyed and she said it was fine as long as it was a well ventilated salon. I am not even sure how to see if there are preservatives in products and I assumed I couldn’t dye my hair. I don’t want to overdo it and stress myself out about products unnecessarily but should I be worried ? Do you know what would be classified as a preservative ?

       Quite a few of the products and ingredients you are mentioning are not ones we typically worry about (fragrance, parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, artificial colors, titanium dioxide and triclosan), but they are often mentioned in “clean” and “natural” beauty sites, but a lot of their assumptions aren’t based in science, or they are selectively ignoring some research that has come out to say some ingredients aren’t a concern.

       As a mainstream physician (I’m a pediatrician) I’m pretty conservative in my recommendations, though it sounds like your doctor’s recommendations are a bit different from most fellow physicians I talk to (we recommend avoidance of retinoids almost universally, salicylic acid and some other ingredients are more of a mixed bag since we don’t have good data in the literature but we have a lot of concerns that lead most of us to recommend avoidance).

       I recommend reading these posts:
       • skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
       • pregnancy beauty FAQ

       I don’t have any actual preservatives that I recommend avoiding, more info in that first post. Yes, you can color your hair and I agree with your physician to do so in a well ventilated area. If you’re worried, I would ask for foils rather than all over color as much less product will touch your scalp (and hair is dead protein and can’t absorb anything). Topicals are a concern as we can find ingredients from topicals in the bloodstream and they have been linked to birth defects (such as chemical sunscreens and hirschsprung’s disease), but what you ingest is much more of a concern than topicals.

     Hi, thank you in advance. I am trying to avoid shadows and face powders that contain talc because I read that talc can contain asbestos. Should I be worry about that the talc that beauty companies use can contain asbestos?

       Christine said:

       I don’t think you should worry about it truthfully. Asbestos matters only in very large exposures, like those who work in industrial situations where they could actively inhale it for years. The asbestos can be inhaled in those situations because they’re mining it or removing it from a home for example, and they’ve disturbed it and it’s become airborne. Most talc does NOT contain asbestos, but since asbestos is a natural thing is it sometimes found in it, in very small amounts. You’re not aerosolizing large amounts of asbestos by applying makeup, if that was the case we would definitely be seeing mesothelioma in those people that work in the cosmetics industry (not the case). This is also all true: https://www.factsabouttalc.com/

             Here are the ingredients of my azelaic acid 15%
             Each gram of FINACEA Gel, 15%, contains 0.15 gm azelaic acid (15% w/w) as the active ingredient in an aqueous gel base containing benzoic acid (as a preservative), disodium- EDTA, lecithin, medium-chain triglycerides, polyacrylic acid, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, purified water, and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH.
             If it is not safe, maybe you know some safe for pregnancy azelaic acid? Thank you for Your Generosity!!!

       I actually don’t think most foundations have aluminum, likely not even 25% of foundations that I review have it. It always sticks out a bit to me. It’s fine for pregnancy though, there’s discussion in the pregnancy safe deodorant post. If it makes you worry, I would try a different product. No reason to be stressed about makeup!

     7% Glycolic Acid A powerful effective exfoliator for aiding in skin turnover, glycolic acid is the most active and beneficial of alpha-hydroxy acids. It is used to improve skin texture, refine skin tone and even out complexion giving a healthy and natural glow to dull, tired skin.

     Symcalmin® Derived from Oat, Avenanthramides significantly help reduce histamine related skin disorders as well as irritation and redness due to treated skin, irritated skin, and sunburned skin. In vitro studies and testing have shown a 30% reduction in histamines, redness and irritation. It has also been found to reduce irritation from AHAs and topical skin treatments.

     Symglucan® Derived from Beta-Glucan this skin conditioner can effectively protect against UV-damage, improving extrinsic signs of aging. It can also stimulate fibroblast growth and collagen synthesis and increase moisturizing properties of the skin. In vitro testing has shown Symglucan® to offer a 15% increase in UV protection and a significant increase in fibroblast production resulting in increased collagen synthesis. Studies have also shown that Symglucan® can offer 13% skin penetration. Despite a fairly large molecular size, SymGlucan® penetrated the skin significantly into the stratum corneum and epidermis. Additionally, SymGlucan® offers an exciting new application in a non-invasive treatment of skin wrinkles.

     PhytoCellTec™ Alp Rose Extracted from the Alp Rose, use of this ingredient offers a protective effect against UV radiation. Clinical testing and studies have shown Alp Rose Stem Cell Extract to protect human keratinocyte progenitor cells against UV radiation by 75%. It has also shown to increase skin’s resiliency and help boost epidermal regeneration resulting in tighter, softer and visibly radiant skin.

     INGREDIENTS

       Most perioral dermatitis is actually a super infection and you need a very specific topical antibiotic, mupirocin. Neosporin an dother over the counters aren’t enough.
