      It’s fine. Topical use is very different than eating. It’s actually still ok to eat while pregnant (I wouldn’t eat cups of it though), and eating is where your body is actively absorbing the ingredient, the skin tries to prevent that and is a barrier. 🙂

      This is something I’d avoid in pregnancy for sure due to the retinoid, during nursing as well if you’re conservative

      skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

      The first product has a chemical sunscreen, so ok while nursing but I would avoid them while pregnant.
      The second product is fine.

      #1, 2 and 4 are pregnancy safe
      #3 has hemp, the rest is ok, but my disclaimer on that is below and you can make your own decision.

      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.

      #3 is ok for pregnancy and nursing.

      These are ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
      #1 has a chemical sunscreen and licorice root
      #2 has licorice root
      #4 has licorice root

      #5 lots of cell culture extracts, sometimes these are stem cells but sometimes just extracts, brands label both the same way. It depends a bit on what the brand says they are.

      Are these full ingredient lists? They don’t have the typical ingredients such as preservatives and such. The way they’re written as well (eg- matrixyl 300 instead of listing the peptides) is against FDA labelling requirements, so this doesn’t look like the actual full ingredient lists.

      This is fine. I put very little stock into the EWG, they’re primarily a lobbyist group and frequently are at odds with the scientific community, claiming studies show things that those who did the studies disagree with.

    Hi there! I’ve read on your site that wax based eye-liners are not a cause for worry. I was wondering, (as this often happens to me) what if they end up in/ near the tear ducts/ right at the lash line or get into the eyes? Would it then be of concern?

    Thanks in advance!

      I think you’re overthinking it. The skin and the eyes aren’t absorptive surfaces and it doesn’t absorb waxy things much. If they’re getting into your eyes like that you need a new eyeliner anyways as the irritation isn’t good for your eyes (reading your comment would cause palpitations for my friends that are ophthy).

      The scrub has hemp and licorice root, the face cream just has hemp.
      The licorice root is ok for nursing but not pregnancy, my blurb on hemp is below. That ingredient is up for you to decide.
      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.

        Woooo! Thank you for your response and for putting together a page for Saturday Skin. I’m so disheartened that I wont be able to use FAB products for the next few months but I love SS so hopefully i’ll be ok. I just have to find a cleanser.

        I did wonder, since you have a long list of brands, how often do you update them?

          I’ve only had the lists going for about 18 months or so. It kind of depends on the brand. I’m sure there are brands on here that no one ever looks at, but there are a few that people have had a lot of questions about or I’ve noticed products getting updated, so I’ll add new products or re-review lines in the brand that I think are “high risk” for unsafe ingredients. There are a few brands that I’ve gone through the entire brand every 6 months or so (Kiehl’s and Tula are 2 that this has happened for).

          I just recently bought a LOT of products from Kora Organics, you might want to check them for a cleanser!

      Willowherb and willowbark are different. But there’s a salicylate in there that I would avoid while pregnant, ok for nursing though. I had a box of stuff I could use after I delivered, I would just stick this serum in there.

      A bunch of these have retinoids and shouldn’t be used while pregnant and you should avoid in nursing if you’re conservative. It’s all of the Milani Color Statement Lipstick EXCEPT for MLSN-15 and 21. 15 and 21 are ok for nursing and pregnancy. The top lip plump is also ok in nursing and pregnancy.

      #1-3 are ok for pregnancy and nursing

      #4 has hemp oil, my disclaimer info ont hat is below. I’m not comfortable saying I think that’s fully safe. It also has a retinoid which needs to be avoided in pregnancy for sure and in nursing if you’re conservative.
      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.

      #1 and #4 are ok for pregnancy and nursing
      #2 is likely ok for pregnancy and nursing, though with the caveat that there’s an edelweiss cell culture, sometimes that’s just a broth of extract and sometimes that’s how brands label stem cells, which I’m not comfortable saying is always ok. I’d look into how they’re marketing the product and if you’re comfortable with stem cells or not.
      #3 ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to gluconolactone

     Hi,

     Thank you SO much for all of your time, dedication and for sharing this information with the public. Since finding your site I’ve been able to adjust my skincare routine accordingly.

     Unfortunately, during my pregnancy I’ve developed eczema (or another type of hormona dermatitis) on my chin/cheek area of my face. My husband currently uses Vanicream prescribed by his dermatologist to help heal dry winter skin. Is this okay for me to use now while pregnant and later on nursing?

       Both lists just list “pro vitamin a” and “vitamin a”, if those are a retinoid then avoid in pregnancy and during nursing if you’re conservative.

       These are all ok except for the Bakuchiol Booster Face Oil, more on that below. This includes the conditioner, though you don’t need to worry about conditioners as your hair can’t absorb anything.
       The Bakuchiol Booster Face Oil has (obviously) a lot of bakuchiol, which is being touted as the “new, natural” retinoid, that works just like a retinoid. Except I can’t find info about mechanism of action or safety. So, I’ve been treating it like a retinoid and screening it out as not safe for pregnancy and something to avoid in nursing if you’re conservative. I’d look into a rosehip oil product instead as an alternative that’s ok for pregnancy.

     I LOVE your site and have used it often during both of my pregnancies. I totally agree with you on being conservative with my skin care because it’s one of the few things in pregnancy I can actually control and why risk it?

     Anyway, I’m now 6.5 weeks postpartum and eight days after starting the mini pill my skin is breaking out all over again. Everywhere I look people just suggest switching BC types but they all have downsides and we’re Not ready for permanent solutions.
     I’m breastfeeding and would love advice on how to combat the acne!
     I know you review products but I honestly don’t know what to even try for this.

       Oh no! That’s annoying, I’m sorry you’re dealing with break outs now! The good news is you can use pretty much any acne products, and things will settle down a bit very soon. I like a salicylic acid face wash and lightweight moisturizer. My favorite was discontinued by Kate Somerville, but even just Clean & Clear from the drugstore is a good option.

       This looks ok except for the hemp. This is my disclaimer on it, I don’t feel comfortable saying it is safe.

       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 Doctor!
     Great website, very useful, thank you!

     Is hyaluronic acid safe during pregnancy and nursing? While searching the net, I came across mixed comments, some of which recommended not to use products including it. Based on a few products you’ve marked as safe (which include hyaluronic acid), I assumed it is safe. But still wanted to check considering what I came across before.
     Thanks a lot!

       It’s definitely fine, it’s already found naturally in your skin and is so large that it has a very difficult time moving around in the body. More info here:

     Hi Doctor!
     Really love your pregnancy safe beauty product posts! I’m so happy to see some of Kbeauty brands on your list as well. Thanks so much! I was looking for the brand Cellex-C on there but couldn’t find it. I was wondering if you can verify a product as pregnancy safe, if not it’s ok since I know you’re a doctor and quite busy especially with everything that’s going on right now. If you have the time I just want to know if Cellex-C Advanced C serum is safe.

     Ingredients listed on Dermstore: Water (Aqua), Ascorbic Acid, Acetyl Tyrosine, Zinc Sulfate, Glycine, Grape Skin (Vitis Vinifera) Extract, Grape Seed (Vitis Vinifera) Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bioflavanoids.

     Thanks so much!

           There’s some discussion on that here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

           Similar to glycolic acid, it’s controversial in the medical community whether they’re safe or not. But given we don’t actually have safety information (and there’s even discussion in the derm community whether sunless tanners are safe at all, let alone during pregnancy)…. My list is on the conservative side and I try to base my decisions regarding ingredient safety upon what is in the medical literature and discussions with other physicians.

Currently nursing #2 And thinking I need to lighten up a little and my skin could use some extra love. I’m interested in the REN glycol lactic renewal mask with glycolic, lactic, citric, tartaric and Papain but I’m just so nervous about it.

       This has a salicylate so ok for nursing but not pregnancy. But you usually don’t apply a detangler spray to anything except just the hair shaft, which can’t absorb anything, so I wouldn’t worry about it personally.

       Unfortunately I don’t have a source of ingredients for the brand that I consider reputable enough for reviewing the line on the site. I can find the ingredients on various other sites, but I don’t trust their accuracy. Many of their products are already reviewed in comments on the site, they show up if you do a site search at the top of the page.

       I did go ahead and edit your comment to include numbers for each product, to cut down on any confusion.
       1: Not a full ingredient list, so I can’t comment on safety
       2: Salicylate, Salicylic Acid, ok for nursing but not pregnancy
       3-7: Ok for pregnancy and nursing
       8: Gluconolactone, Salicylate, ok for nursing but not pregnancy

     I wanted to confirm that these two sunscreen products are safe for use during pregnancy and nursing? I’m also aware that botox injections should be avoided during pregnancy- I wanted to ask if you have a recommendation for how long before trying to conceive you should schedule your last botox injections? I.e. do you know how long the botox stays in your system for? And is it safe to receive botox injections when nursing? Thank you so much for your wonderful website!!!

     Hello,

     I am very pleased that I stumbled across your site; it’s a lifesaver and has spared me several more hours of combing through sites and trying to ascertain whether my products are pregnancy safe. Brands certainly do not make it easy for expectant mothers with a lack of transparency or failure to note whether products are ok are not.

     I have struggled a tremendous amount but am slowly getting there! All I have left is my facial skin care. I have determined that my SPF and cleanser are safe to use on your site. However I am unsure if the products I am using from my dermatologist are suitable.
     The products are not available in the the USA but I can list the ingredients. It only occured to me this evening after liberally applying a face mask. I’m anxious about continuing the use of the face wash, serum and mask but given the current lockdown restrictions, I cannot easily communicate nor see my dermatologist, even have alternative products delivered quickly!

     I would greatly appreciate your help with the matter and thank you in advance

     Please note that I had asked one of the nurses at my dermatologist clinic if the serum and facial wash was safe to use pregnancy. She informed me it was only a minimal amount and should (emphasis on the should) be fine but did not confirm this with me.

       All 3 have salicylic acid, the cleanser and serum both have willow bark. I would say they’re ok for nursing but not pregnancy. In the US we don’t look at how much or which trimester, since we don’t have safety info at all we definitely don’t have enough to say “this amount in this formulation is fine”, etc. There’s more on this thought process as well as info about if you’ve been using an “unsafe” product in this post: pregnancy beauty FAQ

           The malic acid is one to avoid in pregnancy. But this is likely just going on your hair and not your scalp, in which case I wouldn’t worry about it and would still use it. Your hair is mostly dead proteins and can’t absorb anything.

     Hi there!

     I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for being a MUCH needed resource that is hard to find. So thank you for your time that you dedicate to this. The product I am looking for guidance on isn’t a topical skin care product but rather a natural supplement to help with complexion. Is this safe for nursing? I assume not during pregnancy but looking for guidance on whether I can use while breastfeeding. The supplement is called Balance by Alani Nu. Ingredients:

     Folate (as 5-Methyletrahydrofolate Calcium) 400 mcg 200%
     Chromium (as TRAACS Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate) 120 mcg 100%
     Myo-Inositol 2g **
     Setria L-Glutathione (Reduced) 250mg **
     3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) 150mg **
     Sodium R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 100mg **
     Other Ingredients:
     Hypromellose (Veggie Capsule), Silica, Ascorbyl (Vitamin C) Palmitate.

     Thank you in advance!

       First, I don’t comment on eye drops. You’ll need to discuss with your physician.

       For the products,
       #1 and 2 Body lotions- hemp and gluconolactone. My hemp disclaimer is below, but I would consider it ok for nursing depending on what you think about the hemp.

       all other products ok for pregnancy and nursing

       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.

     Dear Doctor,

     Thank you so much for all the hard work that you do in researching all these beauty products! I’m so grateful that we have this resource to make educated decisions, especially when everything is so chaotic right now. It’s a scary time to be pregnant, so it’s a big comfort to have certainty and control over some of our choices with our bodies. Thank you for your kindness and lending everyone your expertise!

     I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts on these 2 products:

     Your list is a life saver!! I CANNOT thank you enough. 🥰 Twenty weeks here and going crazy over what I could do to get my skin to look decent again. I would also like to suggest that you add Eucerin to the brands you review. They have a lot of products at affordable prices.

     Firstly: thank you SO MUCH for the time and effort you put into this! I’ve struggled to find out what products I can use during pregnancy and now while breastfeeding, as I find that a lot of information out there is full of contradictions and it’s very easy to get confused. Being confident in what you can use while growing/ taking care of a little one is so important! You are now my go-to for any products.

     Secondly, I’ve been wondering if I can use an eyelash serum called iGlow during pregnancy and/ or nursing. Here are the ingredients it contains:

     Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate, Leuconostoc/radish Root Ferment Filtrate Alanine, Alcohol, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Calcium Gluconate, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Gluconolactone, Glycine, Hexylene Glycol, Histidine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hydrolyzed Yeast Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoleucine, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Pca, Phenylalanine, Polysorbate 20, Proline, Propylene Glycol, Serine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Pca, Threonine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Valine, Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite

     Thank you so much for taking the time to answer x

     Hi Doctor,

     Hope you’re staying safe and healthy.
     You had mentioned earlier that Wella Professionals – Invigo Nutrienrich with goji berry deep nourishing mask is pregnancy and nursing safe, since it’s a conditioner. But I use it all over my hair, including the scalp, that too a lot of it. I massage it well and leave it on for quite sometime. I just wanted to double check if it’s still safe, since it has Benzyl Salicylate. Thanks.

     Ingredients – 

     Aqua/Water/Eau, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetyl Alcohol, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Panthenol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance/Parfum, Methylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycerin, Propylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Oleic Acid, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Lactic Acid, Potassium Sorbate.

       If you’re using it on the scalp then I wouldn’t use it due to the salicylate. You’re still ok to use it just on your hair

I just came off 3 days on service and have over 150 comments to respond to, some of which have many products to review. You need to be polite and patient.

       4- ok for pregnancy and nursing
       2 & 5 are ok for nursing but not pregnancy
       the rest are all to be avoided in pregnancy for sure and during nursing if you are conservative

       1- Retinoid, glycolic acid
       2- glycolic acid
       3- Retinoid, glycolic acid
       5- glycolic acid
       6- Glycolic acid, retinoid

       I can’t comment without the full ingredient list for the exfoliating scrub (the “inactive” ingredients aren’t actually inactive, they just don’t count as drugs)

       The other 2 both have snail secretion, which you can learn more about my concerns here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       The serum also has a salicylate. Ok for nursing, but not pregnancy

       The eye cream also has bakuchiol, which I screen out as a retinoid, so avoid in pregnancy and also while nursing if you’re being conservative.

     Hi,

     If you have considered products safe for pregnancy, does that mean that they are also safe for breastfeeding?

     The ingredients in Orgono Living Silicia gel are purified water,living silica (monomethylsilanetriol), hydroxyethylcellulose, citrus grandis, and vegetable glycerin. Is Orgono Living Silicia gel safe for a breastfeeding mother
     to use?

       You’re right, it isn’t safe for pregnancy due to the mandelic acid, salicylic acid, bakuchiol
       I am currently screening bakuchiol as a retinoid due to lack of info and every brand using it claiming it is “just like a retinoid”…. Retinoids are one of those things that you can use while nursing but not everyone recommends it. The evidence all points to a birth defect association, but once you’re born there’s no risk of that… it kind of depends on how conservative you want to be.

         Also, any info on the Goop glow Microderm exfoliator? I’d love to find a hyper-pigmentation treatment and exfoliating product that would be safe (if/when preg).

           I don’t really have any info about bakuchiol. I haven’t found any safety information/studies, and I can’t even confirm it’s mechanism of action. Just suddenly it showed up in a bunch of products with many of the brands saying it “works just like a retinoid”, which to me implies that it works via the same mechanism (again, which I can’t confirm). So for now I’m screening it out as a retinoid to be on the safe side.
           The Goop scrub has glycolic acid in it, which I’ve been taught to avoid in pregnancy. Glycolic acid is one of those ingredients that some say is fine, but we don’t have info on it and it’s highly absorbed (at least 28% via topical use in studies). I would look into a vitamin c product to fight hyperpigmentation, and maybe splurge on a clarisonic for exfoliation 🙂

     Hi there!

     You are my go-to website ever since we even started considering having a baby. So, first of all, let me say a biiiiiig ‘Thank you!’

     Secondly, I would have a question about Bio-Oil. I haven’t seen it in your list and I know everybody recommends it to be used during pregnancy for stretch marks.
     But on the ingredient list, they mention Retinyl Palmitate. So I’m a bit confused.

     They actually market the product as being designed for pregnancies:
     “During pregnancy, it should be applied from the start of the second trimester to areas that are prone to stretch marks such as the abdomen, breasts, lower back, hips, buttocks and thighs.
     …
     Concerning the level of vitamin A in Bio-Oil Skincare Oil, it is low enough to render it harmless to the unborn child. By including vitamin A at a low level, Bio-Oil Skincare Oil provides pregnant women with the benefits of vitamin A without any safety risk.

     Any substance applied to the skin is only harmful if it is present at levels above its toxicological threshold. Because the skin provides a significant barrier to penetration, only a fraction of topically applied vitamin A enters into the body. The European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has evaluated vitamin A and its esters, when used as a cosmetic ingredient. The SCCS opinion is that the use of vitamin A in body lotions, up to the maximum concentration of 0.05% of retinol equivalent, is safe6. Bio-Oil includes vitamin A in its formulation at well below this maximum allowable concentration for a body lotion.”

     The whole ingredient list is:

     Botanicals
     Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (Calendula Oil)
     Lavandula Angustifolia Oil (Lavender Oil)
     Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil (Rosemary Oil)
     Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil (Chamomile Oil)
     Vitamins
     Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A)
     Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
     Oil base
     Paraffinum Liquidum
     Triisononanoin
     Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate
     Isopropyl Myristate
     Glycine Soja Oil
     Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
     Tocopherol
     Bisabolol
     Fragrance (Rose)
     Parfum
     Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
     Amyl Cinnamal
     Benzyl Salicylate
     Citronellol
     Coumarin
     Eugenol
     Farnesol
     Geraniol
     Hydroxycitronellal
     Limonene
     Linalool

       So the issue is that they are talking about some threshold and we actually don’t know what that threshold is. The studies to find/prove it are unethical to do. And while it makes sense logically that there would be a small amount that would be ok, since we don’t know what that level would be then we can’t say what amount is safe. And really, finding that level is basically impossible. How much Bio-Oil would be too much? Which part of the skin can it be applied to (they have different thicknesses). What if that skin has eczema or a rash that would affect absorption? What if the baby has X disease already, would the Retinoid be a bigger issue? It kind of goes on and on. Due to all of that in the US medical community we don’t really recognize a gradiant of risk, if we think there could be a risk with something during pregnancy we say to avoid it completely.

       I haven’t made a post for bio-oil because it doesn’t really have other products (or they didn’t last time I checked), but it’s one that drives me crazy. They market it for pregnancy, but it has a retinoid and a salicylate, so should be avoided in pregnancy and while nursing if you’re being conservative.

       I hope my ramblings helped 🙂

         Thanks a lot! It really does help.
         I’m with you on this and prefer to be on the safe side rather than taking unnecessary risks. I’ll stick to shea butter and other safe moisturising products and hope for the best. 😛

     Hello,

     Summer is coming and I’ve heard how sunscreens can be dangerous. I use one from Australia since before I was pregnant because it didn’t have some of the toxic ingredients some American sunscreens did. Could you tell me if this is safe for pregnancy. I just saw the Salicylate so am thinking it’s not.

     I wanted to inquire about this brand I came across recently called Naturium. They seem to be a plant based/Earth friendly, science driven skincare company, that is also very affordable. They have about 14 different products that seem very straightforward, sort of like the ordinary or the inkeylist.

     Could you please list these as well?

       Vitamin C and niacinamide are ok for pregnancy and nursing
       Retinol needs to be avoided in pregnancy for sure and nursing if you’re on the conservative side.

     Hi,

     Firstly, thank you for all the hard work you put into the blog – it’s such a great (evidence-based) resource!

     If I may, I have a question about the MDSolarSciences Face + Body Mineral Crème SPF 50.

     It is marketed as a mineral sunscreen (the active ingredients are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide), but I spotted a chemical sunscreen (Polysilicone-15) under inactive ingredients.

     In your opinion, would this make the sunscreen unsafe for pregnancy and/ or nursing?

     Full ingredients list below (as per MDSolarScience website on
     4th May 2020):

     Active ingredients:
     2% Titanium Dioxide
     17% Zinc Oxide

     Inactive ingredients:
     Dimethicone,
     Dimethicone Crosspolymer,
     Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride,
     Glyceryl Isostearate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid,
     Silica,
     Dimethicone/ Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer,
     Butyloctyl Salicylate,
     Polysilicone-15, ☆
     Iron Oxides,
     PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate,
     Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract,
     Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract,
     Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract.

     Thanks in advance!

       It also has a salicylate. It just needs to be present in the ingredients, the “active” is a labelling term by the FDA to denote ingredients they’re treating like an over the counter drug, everything in the list is still functioning. I would avoid this in pregnancy

         Thank you so much for the heads up regarding the Polysilicone-15, and also the Butyloctyl Salicylate, which I didn’t even spot.
         Am extremely grateful to have access to your expertise!

         I had another look and found a mineral sunscreen that excludes these two ingredients.
         If you had time, would you mind reviewing the ingredients list?

         Yes ! Here you go!

         Mirakle Cream :

         Water/Aqua/Eau, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida (Algae) Extract, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Peptide, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (coconut oil and vegetable derived glycerin), Stearic Acid (vegetable origin), Cetearyl Alcohol (vegetable origin), Cetyl Alcohol (plant based), Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Microcrystalline Cellulose (plant based), Phenoxyethanol (functions as a preservative), Ethylhexylglycerin (preservative/moisturizer), Cellulose Gum (plant based), Ordenone (scientific), Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Sodium Hydroxide (PH Balancer), Glycerin (plant based), Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin (plant based), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (peptide), Panthenol (plant based) Sodium Hyaluronate (plant based).

         * Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract = Wonderlight ™ Skin Brightening Agent

         Epik C Serum:

         Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Polysorbate 20, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Camellia Sinesis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Marrubium Vulgare Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Callus Culture Extract, Xanthan Gum, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sodium Citrate, Allantoin, Panthenol, Borago Officinalis Seed (Starflower) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed)/Aleurites Fordi (Tung) Oil Copolymer, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Oil, Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Oil.

         Vitamin C 3%

         Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a stabilized form of vitamin C. It’s ideal in skin care products as it can be stored and packaged more effectively than regular vitamin C – which can be volatile and lose its effectiveness upon contact with the atmosphere.

           The serum has an edelweiss cell culture which is usually a stem cell culture, so that depends on what the brand is advertising and what your comfort level is. My concern for stem cells is explained in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       I would NOT use a retinoid during pregnancy. The studies needed to “prove” that a retinoid like this is actually safe and doesn’t cause birth defects would require thousands of mothers to use the product during pregnancy (as part of a double blind trial) and are considered unethical in the US. You can’t do a study to prove something isn’t harmful, there needs to be the possibility of benefit. All of that to say, I don’t know how a small brand like this could really claim that their retinoid is different than other brands and safe, they don’t have the resources to do such a thing, the liability is huge as retinoids have strong evidence supporting their avoidance during pregnancy. So I wouldn’t recommend the serum, which is the product with the retinoid.

       The toner has glycolic acid, which isn’t universally accepted as safe during pregnancy. I recommend avoiding that as well during pregnancy, but it is ok for nursing.

       Topical aloe vera should be fine, but be careful as pregnancy is a “sensitizing” time, meaning you can develop allergies/reactions more easily.

     And should we use aluminum free deodorant instead of normals one with aluminum?

     Many thanks and all the best to you.

       That product is up to you, but I recommend avoiding them in pregnancy.

       #2 is ok for pregnancy and nursing

       I screen all products for the same ingredients, shampoos are one of the few hair products you need to worry about. You do not need to worry about aluminum in deodorants, ironically the aluminum free ones tend to be not safe for pregnancy due to inclusion of other ingredients.

         Do you have prenancy safe shampoo and conditioner list? Or can you just suggest a few shampoo from general brand (such as Head n Shoulder, Sunsilk, Pantene, etc)
         Also, I cannot find a seperate list for body lotion and cream. I’m using Bath n Bodywork & Victoria’s Secret body lotion but I found it contains benzyl salicylate in it so I think I need to switch, correct?

           I don’t have a general shampoo list and you don’t need to worry about conditioner, your hair is dead protein and can’t absorb anything. Many hair care and skincare brands are already included above in the list.

       None of Kerastase’s shampoos are not safe for pregnancy (this has salicylate, ok for nursing), the primer only goes on your hair, not your scalp, and you don’t need to worry about it. The oil is fine.

       No, this has a retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy for sure, and while nursing if you’re conservative.
       Head and Shoulders in Green Apple is safe in pregnancy, I recommend using it on your scalp directly like a treatment, let it sit there for a few minutes and then wash with a regular shampoo.

     I haven’t found topics related to beauty tools so wanted to post the question here.
     1) Would you use the at-home red light / blue light therapy mask everyday during pregnancy? I have Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro : https://drdennisgross.com/drx-spectralitetm-faceware-pro.html

     2) would you use the microcurrent tools such as nuface?

           You should avoid all sunless tanners in pregnancy, I don’t review those products at all.

           The fruit peel resurfacing serum has glycolic acid and willow bark, avoid in pregnancy and ok for nursing.
           The hydration serum has gluconolactone, also ok for nursing but not pregnancy.

           The Polish and Serum are both ok for nursing and pregnancy

       all of these are ok fine for pregnancy and nursing the only one I have a concern with is the gel exfoliator, which has glycolic acid. That isn’t universally accepted as ok in pregnancy, I have more info about it here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
       That product is ok in nursing though.

     This is just a general request / suggestion; I hope it’s the right place. Would you consider adding the “Pacifica” brand to your overall brands list? Or “Andalou Naturals” or “Mad Hippie”? They’re carried in lots of places from grocery stores (Whole Foods, etc.) to larger stores (Target, etc.), as well as dedicated skincare and cosmetics stores, and I, and I think a lot of people right now, are more and more interested in skincare items that can be picked up while doing other errands, rather than making a separate trip to another store. Thanks for considering it, and THANK YOU for all the work you put into this site, it’s been really informative and helpful!

Pregnant with my first, and trying to search out the best skincare regimen moving forward. I’ve had some luck with the Averr Aglow products (one of which you already reviewed in this comments section), but I wanted to see if you can check out the ingredients for a couple of their other products.

     Hello,
     Thank you for all the information you provide!
     I have a few questions please:
     1- in your opinion, if we are trying to conceive in 3-6 months, should the products we use be pregnancy safe or nursing safe (in order to ensure it doesn’t affect the quality of the egg)?
     2- I know this might not be the proper forum to ask but I was wondering how long before trying to conceive should we take our last botox or filler appointment? I was told by a doctor that you can do it in the morning and then conceive at night and it would not affect the baby or the egg. However, I read somewhere online that you should wait for all the botox to be out of your system, like 6 months, before trying. I was wondering if you would know anything about that?

     3- What are your thoughts on the following products please?
     A – Restorsea Pro 10 X :
     – KEY INGREDIENTS In addition to Aquabeautine XL® (INCI: Hydrolyzed Roe) and Brown Algae
     Xylitylglucoside (and) Anhydroxylitol (and) Xylitol and Squalane
     – INGREDIENTS Water (Aqua/Eau), Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Squalane, Dicaprylyl Ether, Lactobacillus Ferment, Xylitylglucoside (and) Anhydroxylitol (and) Xylitol, Hydrolyzed Roe, Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Alaria Esculenta Extract, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract (and) Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate, Fragrance (Parfum), Sclerotium Gum, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide

     B- Restorsea Pro firming Eye Serum:
     – KEY INGREDIENTS: In addition to Aquabeautine XL® (INCI:Hydrolyzed Roe) and Brown Algae also contains:
     Caffeine, Stevia, Avena Sativa (Oat) Extract Platycodon Extract
     – INGREDIENTS: Water (Aqua/Eau), Lactobacillus Ferment, Glycerin, Avena Sativa (Oat) Extract, Hydrolyzed Roe, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Platycodon Grandiflorum Root Extract, Caffeine, Stevioside, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Alaria Esculenta Extract, Polyepsilon-Lysine, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract (and) Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Extract, Sclerotium Gum, Cocoyl Proline, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide

     Thank you so much Doctor!

       1- I would likely start using pregnancy safe products as soon as you start trying, there’s no evidence to suggest you definitely need a wash out period or even how long that should be. In theory, you should start prenatals a few months before you start trying, so you could do both at the same time.
       2- I don’t know specifics of botox and pregnancy, I would defer to the doctor you already spoke with
       Both of these products are fine for pregnancy and nursing

     Hi! First – I LOVE what you are doing! Thank you for making it easy for all the mama’s to-be around the world!

     I started using the Epicuren skincare line last year. Can you advise if these two products are safe during my pregnancy?

     1. https://epicuren.com/collections/bestsellers/products/hydro-plus-moisturizer

       The first is ok for pregnancy and nursing
       The 2nd is only ok for nursing, not pregnancy due to the licorice root. I’d say that I screen out the licorice root for a reason and it’s not really a maybe in my mind, but it’s the “lightest call” of the ingredients I screen out

       Per most OBs you don’t need to worry at all about hair care. I think products that touch and are rubbed into your scalp aren’t really any different from skincare products, so I would worry about those. The best examples of those products are usually shampoos and scalp treatments.

       The shampoo has salicylic acid and a chemical sunscreen (benzophenone-4), the conditioner just has the sunscreen. So, they’re ok for nursing but not pregnancy. If you only use the conditioner on your hair and not your scalp, I wouldn’t worry about it and keep using it. Though this is a conditioner that I’ve used as a soothing treatment on my scalp.

             The info is in my sunscreen guide and post on pregnancy safe sunscreens

             You want it to say only zinc or titanium under “active ingredients”, but sometimes they bury them in the other ingredients as well if they’re there for photostability of the product to increase shelf life, rather than contribution to SPF value.

       I would avoid both while pregnant for sure due to the bakuchiol, which I’m currently treating like a retinoid. Those that are conservative would avoid it while nursing as well.
       The pads also have salicylic acid and glycolic acid to avoid in pregnancy.

       Using silver hasn’t been shown to improve acne in studies that I’m aware of, there’s a reason it isn’t part of our typical treatment algorithm. Both of these products look ok, but I would be hesitant to do this.

       This isn’t a real ingredient list, they simply say vitamin A instead of the correct chemical name (which makes a big difference with the safety). I can’t comment on any of these.

       The shampoo has salicylic acid and chemical sunscreen, ok for nursing but not pregnancy. The conditioner only has the chemical sunscreen, but typically is only applied to the actual hair, not the scalp. Your hair can’t absorb anything, so I don’t worry too much about hair products unless they’re on your scalp.

       The only issue I see is the Creme Dermopurifiante Water, it has gluconolactone, and salicylic acid. It’s ok for nursing but not pregnancy. The others are ok for both pregnancy and nursing.

       Both oils are ok for pregnancy and nursing
       The foam cleanser has willow bark (a salicylate), so ok for nursing but not pregnancy

     Hello, thank you for all the advice you offer on this site, I have been using it a lot.

     I am UK based and noticed the skincare brand Eucerin isn’t listed on the above article. One product I would like to check with you is Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Serum.

     The ingrediants are: Aqua Alcohol Denat Butylene Glycol Glycerin Octocrylene Isopropyl Palmitate Cetearyl Isononanoate Distarch Phosphate Methylpropanediol Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate Sodium Hyaluronate Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract Tocopherol Glucosylrutin Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate Glyceryl Stearate Sodium Polyacrylate Dimethicone Isoquercitrin Citric Acid Sodium Chloride Trisodium EDTA Caprylyl Glycol Phenoxyethanol Parfum.

     Thank you.
