     Hi, can you tell me if Le Prunier plays oil is safe for pregnancy? It’s only one ingredient, so I’m assuming it’s okay. Thank you so much.

   Hello.
   Thank you for the work you have done (and are still ).

   I reviewed all the solar products mentioned and did some research in parallel to find out if they were suitable for very dark skin (no white cast like the one I was using before pregnancy).
   So far I have unfortunately still not been able to do the right match to have the products that are pregnancy safe and suitable for me. It’s either ok for one or the other but not both.
   So I wanted to know if you had feedbacks or tracks to help me out ease my search.
   Thank you.

     Unfortunately only physical sunscreens are safe during pregnancy and those are much more likely to cause a white cast.

     The first has “spice”, I don’t know what that is, it’s a super generic term that wouldn’t be allowed on an ingredient list in the US
     #2 has white willow bark, but it doesn’t specify which species of willow tree. #3 has the Salix Alba specified as the kind of willow tree, so I would definitely avoid that one while pregnant.

    Hi there! I’m so happy I came across your page! I didn’t realize so many of the products I was using could be harmful during my pregnancy. Fortunately some of my staple items are safe! I have a facial cleanser (from Canada) that I really like, but some of the ingredients are not listed on your site and I couldn’t find much information on them. I would appreciate if you could review this product. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for everything you’re doing here Christine! Do you mind telling me a little bit about how you make the determination that a product is safe? Do you take into consideration the amount of a given ingredient in a formulation (how high it appears on the ingredient list) or do you recommend that products be avoided during pregnancy if they contain an unsafe ingredient regardless of where it is on the list?

    Essentially I’m wondering, if I own a product that you haven’t reviewed but I can find all of the ingredients in other formulations that you’ve said are safe, can I assume that the product I own is safe as well? I’m hoping to save some of your time by figuring things out on my own!

    Again – I really appreciate how you’re helping pregnant women keep their little ones safe. Your website has been such a great resource for me on my journey to motherhood.

      There’s a bit more about this in the pregnancy beauty FAQ, but in the US medical community we don’t really recognize a gradient of risk for things that are pretty easily avoidable during pregnancy. A lot of the recommendations for what to avoid are theoretical, because to actually prove things aren’t safe is unethical and we can’t perform those studies. Since we can’t study them, we don’t know how much (or little) would be safe. Or at what point in the pregnancy it’s ok to be exposed to things. So, it’s anything on the list (actually listed, not included in extracts). I hope all that makes sense!

      The Gel is fine for pregnancy and nursing
      The moisturizer has neem, which should be avoided during pregnancy. The toner has gluconolactone, which also needs to be avoided during pregnancy, and the serum has mandelic acid which also should be avoided in pregnancy. Those 3 are all ok for nursing

    Hello Doctor, I apologize if I’m being a pest, but I wrote in this question about Eye-Scrubs eye makeup remover pregnancy safety a couple months ago and again, twice, this week. I’m concerned that I’m not posting in the right place. I realize that the questions must be reviewed before they are posted, and I totally understand, with the thousands of questions you must be receiving, that there is a necessary delay. Again, I don’t at all mind waiting. I just wanted to make sure that my question is in the queue. Thanks, I appreciate your efforts so much! God bless you and your family.

      I’m only concerned about the hemp oil, here’s my disclaimer about that:
      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.

    Have you ever reviewed Andalou Naturals products. I’m using their Age Defy Hyaluronic DMAE Lift & Firm Cream and was wondering if it is safe to use during pregnancy. I read something about how DMAE should be avoided during pregnancy which kind of freaked me out. I also am interested in other products from their Age Defy line like their Goji peptide cream as well as their Age Defy serum which I can’t remember the name of. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I feel so lost at times with the limited resources on pregnancy safe beauty. Glad to have found you.

        Hi, thank you for your reply. Can I ask, is the salicylate I should avoid here the butyloctyl salicylate? So that I know next time which to note. And is this still harmful if it is under inactive ingredients of the product or it does not really matter whether it is active or inactive? Thanks again!

          Things are only labelled as “active” when they can be considered a drug by the FDA, it triggers a different labelling standard. So, it doesn’t matter if an ingredient is labelled as active or inactive, just that it’s in there. And yes, that’s the salicylate!

      The aluminum in deodorants actually isn’t as bad as many people think, there’s discussion in my post on pregnancy safe deodorants. But really, there are different kinds of aluminum salts and they are NOT created equal. The aluminum in this product and deodorants is considered fine.

       The shineless has gluconolactone, which I would avoid while pregnant (it’s a polyhydroxy acid), but it is ok for nursing.
       The 2nd is fine for pregnancy and nursing

     On your list of foundations, the giorgi armani luminous silk foundation is listed as not safe due to chemical sunscreen. There is no mention of any SPF in this product. Is this a mistake or do they still formulate it with sunscreen and not advertise it?

     Reply

       15mins said:

       They like to tweak the formulation a bit every now and then, it used to have ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate in it I believe, which is a chemical sunscreen. That ingredient in particular is often added to lengthen shelf life of products. In order to claim SPF they need to pass certain testing parameters, but they can throw all the sunscreens in they want without needing to do that.
       Looking at the Armani site currently, I don’t see a chemical sunscreen, but I do see a salicylate, so I would still consider that foundation ok for nursing but I would avoid it during pregnancy.

     Hi, I’m wondering if the following Lash serums are safe? I saw that in your list you said that Lashfood is safe, but I read on the Sephora website that it is not recommended during pregnancy or nursing.. the other brands seem to have less natural ingredients, but Hydropeptide Lash and Woolash’s representatives say they are safe, but to check with a physician before using, while Ventura lash serum claims to be 100% safe during pregnancy. I’m also wondering if it’s safe to apply castor oil you your skin and eyelids? And do you recommend any of the above lash serums as being better/safer than the others? Thank you so much!!! 🙂

       So, I suspect the lawyers have gotten a hold of Lashfood and that’s why they say not recommended (which is true of most last serums due to the prostaglandins). I address a little bit about why I sometimes disagree with brands in here: pregnancy beauty FAQ

       You’ve managed to find a giant list of lash serums that are safe! These all look ok to me. Caster oil is also safe, though I don’t think it is very effective. I haven’t tried any of these, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend one over another

             Superb! Thank you so much. I almost bought the Tarte Foundcealer/Facetape and literally read the info on your page when I was at Ulta. Also, your highly specific product review is much much appreciated. I looked up the Kiehl’s list and saw how you mentioned only the ‘Richly Hydrating Scented Hand Cream in Lavender’ is safe and not the grapefruit one. I would’ve never thought that the same product with a different fragrance/flavor would actually not be safe. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

             Do you have a product recommendation to avoid/minimize pregnancy related stretch marks?

             Stretch marks kind of suck as they’re mostly genetics. They’ve done all sorts of studies, even looking specifically at Cocoa Butter, etc. Nothing helps. Derms say to rub something on there that is moisturizing, and likely the rubbing is the best thing for it. Just look for something pregnancy safe, I just used Cetaphil cream.

             I actually go through every shade and every scent of products when there are options. It’s amazing how sometimes just 1 color of a lipstick won’t be safe for example! It makes it very time consuming.

     I wanted to ask about Just the Goods Vegan Unscented Hand and Body Lotion. Here is the Ingredients list:

     aqua (water), vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, ethoxylated sorbitan ester (vegetable based emulsifying wax), vegetable glycerin, tocopherol (vitamin e – non GMO soy).

     It seems to be okay, but I was concerned about the fact that it contains soy, and what effects that might have on a developing fetus.

     Also, I wanted to ask about W3Ll People Mascara. Here is their ingredients list:

     Aqua (water), Cera Alba (Beeswax)*, C10-18 Triglycerides, Stearic Acid, Copernicia Cerifera Cera/ Copernicia Cerifera (Carnuba) Wax*, Castor Isostearate Beeswax Succinate, Glyceryl Stearate,Glyceryl Caprylate, Glycerin, Propanediol, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil/ Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil +/- CI 77499/ Iron Oxides. *Ingredient from Organic Farming

     And finally, VSachar MD lipsticks, whose ingredients list is:

     Organic Castor Seed Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Carnauba Wax, Organic Candelilla Wax, Sunflower, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Coconut, Organic Oregano Leaf Extract, Organic Thyme, Organic Cinnamon Bark Extract, Organic Rosemary, Organic Lavender, Goldenseal Root Extract, Organic Lemon Peel, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Vitamin E, Fragrance.

     It says that VSachar MD lipsticks were developed specifically for pregnancy, but I’ve heard that Rosemary and castor oil both can cause miscarriages. Have you ever heard anything to that effect?

     Thank you for your time, Doc!

       You’d need a LOT of soy topically to have any effects on the baby. Same for castor oil and rosemary. You can still eat rosemary (and soy) while pregnant and that’s a much higher level of exposure than topical use. Castor oil you need to ingest on it’s own as well in pretty large amounts, people do take it to induce labor.
       The lipstick is ok, you don’t need to worry about mascara at all as it sits on your lashes, which are dead and can’t absorb anything.

       The first is ok but the second has a retinoid, so I would avoid it while pregnant for sure and while nursing if you’re conservative

     Hello,

     Not a beauty question, but I would be very curious if there is a prenatal vitamin you recommend. These are the things that are supposed to promote a healthy pregnancy, and yet, if you do enough research, it seems like most of them have something wrong with them. Thanks!!

       Most of them are almost the same, I wouldn’t say something wrong with them as you need to be extremely careful with some of the sources on the internet. I’d ask your OB, but mine had me use the One a Day that had a separate DHA supplement.

     I’m pregnant for the first time and learning so much. I want to thank you for your time and for all of the information you have provided. It really has been a huge game changer to know that there are drugstore products that I can use during my pregnancy. Can you please let me know if this one can be used? It’s the wet n wild dual concealer stick.

           I just edited your comment and added numbers to each list of ingredients so it is easier to refer to. I did NOT number the blush as that’s a powder, you don’t need to worry about those. So it is ok. I can’t tell if the highlighter is a powder or not from it’s ingredient list. about 99% of eyeliners just create a film on the skin and are also ok, but i’m checking it 🙂

           Ok for pregnancy and nursing: #1-9, #12

           #10: Chemical sunscreen, ok for nursing but not pregnancy

           #11, 14, 15: Retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy and while nursing if you are conservative

I just wanted to let you know that there is a discrepancy in the Wet-N-Wild section and the pregnancy safe setting spray section…in the Wet-N-Wild it says the photofocus Matte setting spray is not safe and in the other section it says it is…I just wanted to let you know…def. no need to post this!

             I would avoid this while nursing and pregnant due to the retinoid. It also has salicylic acid.

       It’s generally accepted that coloring your hair is ok. Highlighting is better than all over color since the way it is brushed on and foiled it is much less likely to even touch your scalp. I would just make sure to be in a well ventilated area.

       This has a lot of chemical sunscreens. If possible, it’s better to switch to a mineral based sunscreen for such a young one, they absorb more that an adult due to their thin skin and we for sure recommend physical sunscreen at <1 year.

       I have a post about dealing with acne in pregnancy, and I think it’s often the fillers in vitamins that contribute to blemishes if you noted a relation to those. Unfortunately it’s most often the hormone changes during pregnancy though.

       Ha! This is amazing, no one has ever gone out of their way to just point out the different ingredients. I want to say for the record that I find it highly annoying that brands make different versions of the same product around the world. My life would be much easier if the same formulation was available everywhere. About 30% of my readers aren’t from the US and it can be so hard for them to find safe products. #endrant

       #1 is ok
       #2 has a salicylate that I’d avoid while pregnant but ok for nursing
       #3 and #4 are both ok too!

       Hopefully this helps 🙂

     Hello,
     Came across your website while browsing for pregnancy safe beauty products. And I must thank you for creating this amazing website! I’ve been reading a lot of your posts and they have been so amazingly helpful. So thank you again and again. After finding out about my pregnancy I’ve been tossing away my beauty products. So in order to use the right products I went to a nearby pharmacy and asked for some assistance in regards to a face cream, cleanser and a tonic that are pregnancy safe. They recommended me the brand Institut Esthederm. I bought three products but honestly am not quite sure of them therefore I would be so happy if you could assist me.

     On the box it says: Each gram of azelaic acid gel 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, polyarcylic acid, polysorbate 80, proplene glycol, purified water, and sodium hydroxide to adjust PH.

       Please refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, I don’t screen mascara (or mascara-like products) or powders. Please refer to the brands that are already listed above including MAC, Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury and Sephora. It would take me hours to rescreen those products above.

       The products that are not already included in the brand lists and that you need to worry about are these:
       Pregnancy safe: #1, 12, 13
       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy: #11 (chemical sunscreens, refer to the pregnancy safe foundation post)

       There are sooooo many sheet masks already included in the brand pages that I don’t think it’s needed. Plus the selection out there is so huge, I think it would likely open a can of worms for me with people asking only on the post about their favorites.

       This one I wouldn’t use while pregnant due to the willow bark. Ok for nursing though

       The first has glycolic acid, which I would avoid while pregnant and it is ok for nursing
       The second has a retinoid, definitely don’t use while pregnant but during nursing it depends on how conservative you are.

       The Cream isn’t pregnancy or nursing safe due to the retinoid. The rich cream is pregnancy and nursing safe though

       You don’t need to screen mascaras, your lashes are dead protein and don’t absorb things.
       The 8 hour sunscreen here has chemical sunscreens, it’s ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

         Thank you so much! I had also asked you about “Vantura” eyelash growth serum in the past. I ordered it, and there was an additional ingredient in the ingredient list on the box that wasn’t listed online “Domestica (apple) fruit cell culture extract”, do you think this serum is still okay? Would this be the same thing as fruit stem cells?

       I haven’t decided if I should add ELF or not yet. The issue is that they have millions of products and they don’t really keep them around very long. You’re actually about the 3rd person ever to ask about their products…. I’m just afraid that it would take so much time and very few people would look at the products?

       Both of these are pregnancy and nursing safe

       Your hair is dead protein and can’t absorb anything, the timeline doesn’t matter. This has chemical sunscreens in it (for product stability) but conditioners aren’t applied to the scalp anyways.

     Hi, happy New Year!

     I was wondering if Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil is safe during pregnancy. The only listed ingredient is Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil. They claim it is safe to use during and after pregnancy, but I have also heard rosehip contains Vitamin A?

     Thank you!

       This list isn’t really written correctly, the chemical names are broken up incorrectly and vaseline isn’t an ingredient, it’s a product with multiple ingredients, so I don’t feel confident saying this is safe for nursing. It is for sure unsafe for pregnancy, I believe the methoxy cinnamic acid octyl is actually Octyl methoxycinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, which is a chemical sunscreen.

       This lip balm is ok (I’m not sure if it is already included in the Lancome list above)
       When you ask about “Blush products’ ingredients”, I’m not certain what you mean by that. Is Blush a brand or the kind of makeup?

       Unfortunately the Methylene Bis Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol should be avoided during pregnancy (sunscreen). It’s ok for nursing.

       I’ve never heard of this brand. I can’t comment on safety as you seem to have taken all of the ingredients of the 3 products, mixed them together and alphabetized them. There are unsafe ingredients in here such as the salicylate and a retinoid. I wouldn’t use any of them currently for pregnancy or nursing due to that.

     Hello there!

     I was wondering if you could tell me if this moisturizer was safe; it’s from the brand Altilis Beauty – altilisbeauty.com (I left a comment about this a couple days ago but my phone died shortly after, and so I’m not sure if it went through):

     Aqua, Aleurites moluccanus (Kukui) Nut Oil, Cyclopia genistoides (Honeybush) Hydroglycerite, Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Artocarpus altilis (Breadfruit) Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Trans-Resveratrol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Polysaccharides, Ferulic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Sodium lauroyl lactylate, Carbomer, Xanthan gum, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Citric Acid, Benzylalcohol, Dehydroacetic acid.

     I asked them about the trans-resveratrol (since I know resveratrol supplements are not ok during pregnancy) and they said that because the concentration they use is less than 1%, and topical application of this particular ingredient won’t enter the bloodstream, it should be ok during pregnancy, but they advised I still consult with a doctor. Hope you can help!

     Hi, what are your thoughts on using pure shea butter and/or pure argan oil on the skin (hands, face, all the areas prone to stretch marks) during pregnancy? I’m guessing this is probably okay as I see you have approved a lot of products that have these as ingredients, but I wanted to be safe and confirm. Here are the ones I have:

     Naturise Organic Unrefined Shea Butter; ingredients: organic unrefined shea butter

     Pura D’Or 100% Organic Argan Oil; ingredients: 100% Pure Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil.

     Many thanks in advance.

     Hello,

     I only recently started implementimg a skincare regimen after having my first child, but now that I’m pregnant with my second I’ve realized I may need to change my products.

           skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
           Note, they likely can’t penetrate down into the skin at all. Cells are picky and need very specific conditions to be kept alive, being in a cream or serum doesn’t remotely keep them alive. And even if they were alive, I doubt they could head down into your skin. So, I’m likely overly cautious.

       You can submit all in 1 post, I just want people to think about it before they submit 50 at once (because that happens, and usually at least half of the products are already in the list. I haven’t gotten to this one though, it is on my to do list though)

       I wouldn’t use this while pregnant due to the salicylic acid. It is ok for nursing.

     Thank you for such an amazing list. I bought Cerave but this time of year my skin get SO dry especially after the shower. I am using it and still getting dry itchy skin. Prior to finding out I was using Nivea Body Lotion – Nourishing Skin Firming with Q10 & Vitamin . I believe I have seen that normal Nivea is ok, but I didnt know if the “firming” added something to the mix that made it a no no.

       Conditioner shouldn’t be getting on your scalp at all, it should only be applied from about the midshaft down, never at the roots.
       This shampoo has salicylic acid and I would avoid it while pregnant.

           Salicylates themselves should be avoided. Most perfumes have salicylates, I would avoid that by just spraying on your clothes instead of skin.

       I only have an issue with the Hemp Oil, here’s my disclaimer for that. It’s up to you.

       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.

       Both of these are fine. I did a lot of research into BHT (I wasn’t even sure what it was at first) but it’s fine. I don’t remember all of the details (it was 6 months or so ago and I’ve researched a lot of other things since then) but I remember feeling a lot of relief when I read what was actually in the medical literature rather than just on random website. (and I say this on my own random website) 🙂

I know your guidelines say to list ingredients here but I COULD NOT copy and paste (must be some security setting) the ingredients from the LiveTinted website. I am dark skinned and have hyperpigmentation so would LOVE to be able to use one of these color correctors: https://www.livetinted.com/products/huestick#product-details.

     Any chance you can click on the link and let me know if these are safe for pregnancy? I emailed them but not sure how long/if they will get back to me. Thank you!!!

       This has hemp in it, I don’t see other ingredients of concern but this is up to you. Here’s my little blurb on hemp/cannabis.

       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.

         Thanks so much for reviewing these products. The Mustela sunscreen was supposed to be an infant/baby sunscreen. I’m giving birth in 2 months and i bought that one for my baby and i thought i could use it too until i give birth. But now i am confused. Are chemical sunscreens safe to use for an infant? The product label said that i could use this on my baby from the first day. That’s why i thought that this would probably be safe for me too.

           I’m a pediatrician, we recommend no sunscreen until 6 months if possible, and then from 6-12 months we recommend physical and not chemical sunscreens. It isn’t safe for pregnancy.

     I was wondering if these Collagen Eye Zone Masks were ok. They are those small pieces of cloth you put under your eye (you see the celebs with them all the time now) The package says enriched with Collagen, Vitamin E, green Tea Extract and Tropical Fruits to provide intensive hydration, diminish the signs of aging and reduce puffiness.

     Water, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyicellulose, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Natto Gum, Allantoin, Arbutin, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Carica Papaya (Papaya), Fruit Extract, Rose Centifolia Flower Water, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Beta-Glucan, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, methylparaben

     I was also hoping you may be able to offer some advice. I am trying to train myself to sleep on my side, but I am a bit older and have a larger chest. So, I am starting to notice chest wrinkles from sleeping on my side. I know wrinkles happen, but I also know I have seen beauty article stating dont sleep on your side to help prevent them. Since thats not an option right now, do you have any tips, tricks or products that can help reduce them or prevent further damage? Thank you so much!

       I would avoid these in pregnancy and nursing due to arbutin
       Personally I put a pillow under my arm and kind of put it between my breasts to help support them. Otherwise I also recommend spreading your facial skincare all the way down your neck and on to your chest as well.

     Do you have a list of rodan & fields products that are safe during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

     I’m finding conflicting information online and use your blog as a source of truth for what to use. I saw one of their eye creams mentioned in this blog post of yours as pregnancy safe (https://www.15minutebeauty.com/best-eye-cream-under-makeup.html) but was wondering about their other products/regimens. I’m trying to research what is nursing safe from them so I can get my postpartum skincare kit ready. Thank you!

       This has hemp oil, which I don’t feel comfortable stating is safe. Here’s my safety blurb about that:
       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.

       This also has Neem, which should be avoided during pregnancy.

     Hi,

     Thank you so much for this! Your brand list covered 90% of my products!

     I am wanting to order 2 products from a relatively new brand called ‘Rowse’. They are plant based and clean, but just worried now as natural ingredients can be just as harmful.
     First product is the Winter Body Oil:
     Ingredients:
     Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Pinus Sibirica Seed Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Bulnesia Sarmientoi Extract, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Oil, Elettaria Cardamomum Seed Oil, Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Betula Alba Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Cistus Ladaniferus Leaf Oil, Limonene, Linalool Citral, Geraniol, Tocopherol

     The second is a Neroli Water, I am waiting for the ingredients as they are not listed on the website.

     Thanks again !

       2) This foundation is also ok for nursing and pregnancy
       3) I honestly don’t have time to do such a specific post. I always just recommend using a gentle face wash, with rosacea or not, and there are a ton of them in the brand list above. My go-to recommendation is the Cetaphil that dermatologists love

         Im currently struggling with cystic acne and I ordered the Acne Cream from Keeva Organics. I know I can use it now because I’m not pregnant but would it be safe for continued use during pregnancy? The ingredients are:

         Deionized Water Stearic Acid Tea Tree Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Shea Butter, Rosehip Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Olive Oil , Extracts of White Willow, Burdock, Milk Thistle, Hops, Sophora Root Extract, Squalene, Isooctyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Myristate, Polydimethylsiloxane, Salicylic Acid, Vitamin E, Argan Oil, Phenoxyethanol, DL-Menthol, Hyaluronic Acid and Grape Seed Extract. No more dry skin, or harmful chemicals, parabens, or sulfates like most acne treatments.

         Im really hoping it clears up for good soon.

           Unfortunately someone at Boots doesn’t have actual medical training. In the US that’s a position with absolutely no training of any sort, they might be interested in skincare or makeup but they aren’t physicians. I would clear items you’re worried about with your doctor. More info about this kind of situation here:

       The hemp always makes me pause. It’s likely fine, but here’s the disclaimer I usually put. I have no other concerns, just the hemp.

       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.

           I really don’t know as they’ll often include other random things in the formulations. Can you send me a picture of the packaging? The night cream is most likely a big no, but I’m assuming the Vitamin A will be a retinoid (rarely it’s just in an extract or is beta-carotene, those are ok)

       #1 is ok but #2 has hemp, here’s why I’m not comfortable saying that’s safe (note, the other ingredients are fine)

       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.

     Hi Christine,

     I was wondering if these would do more harm than good.

       They call #1 a stem cell mask, but they don’t list any stem cells in the ingredients? I don’t have any other ingredient concerns, I’d say it is up to you.
       #2 is ok for nursing and pregnancy

     Hi! I am so grateful for your diligence and work on sharing safe ingredients. I am not sure if you have received any requests about (what seems to be) a new skincare line for pregnant women called Matrescence? They claim to do a lot of rigorous testing, but am still skeptical.

     There are two products I am exploring and curious about your thoughts on their ingredients. Two ingredients, in particular, I have never seen are the Mushroom extract (product 1) and the Burdock Root Extract (product 2), which seems to be unsafe to ingest internally if pregnant, but not sure about topical application.

     Any insights are greatly appreciated!

     Thank you!
