   Hello!

   Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but do liquid brush cleaners need to be something of concern? I know it’s applied to the brush and not the skin but I wasn’t sure if it would be transferred or not.

   Thanks!

   Hi there,

   First of all, a huge THANK YOU for putting together this guide! It is hugely helpful and fills a big gap – I haven’t found anything remotely like it. And it’s great to see so many brands I use included!

   I wanted to ask about the Nécessaire body products (body wash, exfoliation, lotion) and if you might be able to review.

   Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!

   Thank you so much for the resources! I’m having lots of fun learning. Just had a few brand suggestions if they match up with your work.

   Recently I’ve jumped on the Korean Skincare band and been sing Banila Co. This is the US website. https://banilausa.com/

   I’ve also started using more natural products from Scentuals.

   Also, not sure if you want to start delving into small batch, boutique brands, but would love to see you add Flower Mill Beauty https://www.flowermillbeauty.com/

      I think you’re missing a large part of the ingredient list here. It appears to be cut off mid-ingredient at the end? And I’m not sure if the stem cells are in the Crithmum Maritimum Callus Culture filtrate or not (usually stem cells say cells in there, this is something different). Regardless, I recommend avoiding stem cells while pregnant: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

      This is one of those face creams with the neuropeptides, which they say penetrate into your skin and do things to the muscles to make your face look smoother. If it can go there, it can definitely get into your blood stream and go systemic. I have no idea what that could possibly do while pregnant, so I’d leave that up to you. I don’t see other ingredients of concerns, but the neuropeptide ingredient (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) makes me a bit nervous.

    Hi there! Thank you for this resource!! Is mandelic acid safe to use in pregnancy? I have a serum that has been really effective in treating my cystic acne. The brand is called FaceReality:
    – Hammelis Virginiana
    – Mandelic acid
    – Lactic acid
    – Alcohol
    – Butylene Glycol
    – Alcohol Denat
    – Sodium Lactate
    – Niacinamide
    – Sodium Hyaluronate
    – Sodium PCA
    – Xanthan gum
    – phenethyl alcohol
    – caprylyl glycol
    – potassium sorbate
    – polyglyceryl-4 captrate
    – urea

    I’ve also been using a benzoyl peroxide at night for acne treatment. Safe or no? I’ve read conflicting things. Are there products you can recommend for treating cystic acne safely through pregnancy? I’d really really appreciate it! The cysts can be super painful!

      It’s fine, but you don’t need to worry about most hair masks as they go on the hair shaft, not your scalp. Olaplex restores bonds in the hair, it won’t do anything for your scalp.

      The Dr. Bronner’s has hemp, so it’s up to you. here’s my hemp disclaimer:
      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.

      The Conditioner is fine, though note you really don’t need to worry about conditioners as they only go on your hair, which can’t absorb anythinng.
      The cleansing towelettes are ok for pregnancy and nursing.
      I think pure argan oil is fine for pregnancy and nursing

    Thank you so much for your blog! I’m not sure if you’d know if this teeth whitener from Tarte is safe, but ingredients are below!

    Tarte Pearly Girl: Water, Glycerin, PEG-400, Hydrogen Peroxide, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Nitrate, Mentha Pulegium, Sodium Saccharin. (I’m not sure if you’d know if this is safe or not as it is a teeth whintener)

    Also I read where you said most brow products are fine, I was curious if this was ok since it stains the skin for 3 days?! Thank you so much!

    Urban Decay Inked Brow-Taupe: Isododecane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Nylon-611/Dimethicone Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Lauroyl Lysine, Propylene Carbonate, C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Silica, Aluminum Hydroxide, Tin Oxide.

      This brow product is fine, but as a rule brow and eyeliners are ok as they form a film on the skin.

    Hello!

    Thank you for this amazing website.

    I was wondering about glamnetic magnetic lashes while pregnant. To use, they require a magnetic eyeliner.

    Ingredients for liner:
    CI 77499 (Iron Oxide), water, Dimethicone, Acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer, Propylene glycol, Butylene Glycol, PVP, Steareth-21, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, BHT, Chlorphenesin, fragrance, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.

    Here is the website where they provide more information on the ingredients of this product. https://glamnetic.com/pages/faq

    This is the statement they have under “is it safe?” :

    “Yes, all our products have been tested for safety. Our eyeliner has the same types of ingredients you might see in other liners or mascara. What makes our liner magnetic is our iron oxide ingredient. There are no heavy metals or parabens in our formula. Iron oxide is a cosmetic ingredient commonly used for pigment and is rated as non-toxic according to EWG’s skin deep profile. Of course, as with any eye cosmetic products, if you have any pre-existing eye conditions, consult your doctor. For a break down of all our ingredients, please visit our FAQ ingredients section.”

    Thank you so much!!

      So none of these will be safe in pregnancy. The serum also has willow bark and the toner has arbutin and licorice root (so that one can’t be used in nursing)

    Hi, Your website has been invaluable to my wife and I. Our newborn is beyond healthy and we feel very grateful and lucky. We cut out EVERYthing listed in your ingredients to avoid – not an easy feat since many ‘pregnancy branded’ products shockingly contain many of the items that should be avoided. I will never ignore an ingredients list again.
    My question is about: Salicylate. That is also contained in aspirin which is prescribed to take in small amounts for many pregnant women, yet it needs to be avoided in products used on the skin. How can this be? Are they different versions of the same thing and the aspirin one is safe to take orally? I asked our Dr and their answer was not satisfying. I feel they didn’t actually know, so I wanted to ask you. Thank you if you are able to answer this question.

      It’s actually to be AVOIDED in pregnancy in the US, certainly not “by many women”. We use it very judiciously for certain things in pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and certain hypercoagulable disorders), but it and other prostaglandin analogues are used for things like closing the ductus arteriosus after birth, that’s one of many reasons to avoid it during pregnancy. The salicylates are to be avoided in pregnancy due to the risk of this.

       I can’t review the second cleanser without an ingredient list.
       The first product looks ok to me for pregnancy and nursing if those are all of the ingredients. Clean and Clear sometimes separates out the drug ingredients, and that’s often salicylic acid, which you need to avoid in pregnancy. Look around on the bottle to be sure it isn’t there

       I’m not sure if the Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract is a stem cell ingredient or not. Some brands it is, some it isn’t. My concerns about stem cells are here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
       Otherwise it looks ok for pregnancy and nursing, so I guess it depends on if they are stem cells or not and how comfortable you are with that.

       I have discussion on extracts and oils here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       I don’t always agree with the EWG, they’re highly controversial in the medical and scientific communities as they like to draw conclusions from studies that the authors disagree with. In particular, our views on product safety during pregnancy often differ.

       This product looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing to me.

       #1 has hemp, my typical disclaimer on that is below. Up to you. I don’t see any other ingredients of concerns.
       #2 ok for pregnancy and nursing
       #3 has hemp and salicylic acid. The SA means I would avoid in pregnancy for sure, ok for nursing. The hemp part is still up to you.
       #4 has salicylic acid, ok for nursing but not pregnancy

       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.

     Hello! Your blog is insanely fabulous! Thank you so much for posting so much helpful information for all of us.

     I would love to see more about ARCONA products. I use EWG Skin Deep to select my beauty products. Now I’m taking one step more to make sure all products are safe for pregnancy.

     This is an exfoliator I love, ARCONA Cranberry Gommage. The only ingredient I can see that is questionable (and please do correct me if there are others) is willow bark. Overall, is this a safe product? The ingredients are as follows:

     Aqua (Distilled Water), Diatomaceous Earth, Jojoba Esters (Beads), Glycerin*, Caprilic/Capric Triglyceride(Plant Oils), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Behenyl Alcohol, Sucrose Stearate, Vaccinium Macrocarpon(Cranberry) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) Extract, Zeolite, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Xanthan Gum, Alcohol Denat., Volcanic Minerals, Maltodextrin, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance (Natural).

     Thank you for any information.

       Talc is fine.
       this shampoo has hemp, my disclaimer for that is below. It is otherwise ok.

       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.

       It all looks ok, except the Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is a neuropeptide, which I’m not really sure about being safe. There’s not any info, but I’d leave that ingredient up to your comfort level.

       For actual foot peels, I think they are all glycolic acid based. I just got the foot emery board thing from Barefoot Scientist, and it’s the best one I’ve ever had. I recommend checking that one out!

     Hi Doctor,

     I wish I found this website sooner. There’s so much valuable information here.

     I am breastfeeding and ever since my pregnancy, I’ve not used toners or moisturizers. I was just so afraid to put anything on my face except the regular soap.

     Cream:
     Aqua, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, polydecene, polysorbate 80, cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone crospolymer, propylene glycol, glycerine, may contain iron oxides, red (CI 77491) yellow (CI 77492), black (CI 7749), octyl methoxycinnamate, caprylyl glycol, glyceryl caprylate, dipropylene glycol, fragrance.

     Gel:
     Aqua, carbomer, Glycerin, triethanolamine, cocus nucifera (coconut oil), lactic acid, kojic acid, ascorbic acid, tocopheryl acetate, caprylyl glycol, glyceryl caprylate, dipropylene glycol, fragrance.

       The moisturizer and cream have a chemical sunscreen (octyl methoxycinnamate), so they are ok for nursing but not pregnancy
       Cream 2 has the same chemical sunscreen and salicylic acid, also ok for nursing but not pregnancy
       The Gel has kojic acid, avoid in both pregnancy and nursing

     Hi there!
     I’ve been reading your posts about Retinol/breastfeeding. I know doctors have mixed opinions on whether they see it as a concern or not. I’m new to the retinol world and started using about 6 months before getting pregnant and then quit using it. I’m now breastfeeding and was wanting to start using again but not sure if all retinol is “created equal” with the ingredients that are in it! 🙂
     Here’s the ingredients in the SkinPharm 1% Retinol drops:
     Dimethicone, Isododecane, Caprylic,Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glycerol Oleate, Retinol, Sea Whip Extract, Bisabolol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopherol, BHT

       It’s a very mixed recommendation currently. Pretty much all retinoids are treated equally, we can’t do the studies needed to differentiate them or the % they are used at (the studies are unethical). It’s really a personal decision if you want to use retinoids while nursing. I used them, the trend toward avoiding them was after I had my girls. If I was nursing now, I would concentrate on using a great exfoliator (either physical with a clarisonic or chemical such as glycolic acid) and then vitamin C

       I would avoid the night serum due to the gluconolactone. The glycolic acid isn’t in the ingredient list, so they’re likely considering it to be in the extracts, which doesn’t count for pregnancy safety. But the gluconolactone does. Ok for nursing though.
       The skin elixir looks ok for both pregnancy and nursing

     Hello! I have a nail and cuticle biting problem when I’m anxious or stressed. Just a couple of months ago, prior to getting pregnant, I started using Mavala Stop. It has worked really well for strengthening and the bitter taste is an immediate wake up when I start doing it subconsciously. Are the ingredients in this that I should be concerned about during pregnancy?

     Mavala Stop from Switzerland

     Ingredients: Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Isopropyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat, Denatonium Benzoate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Benzophenone-1, CI 60725 (D&C Violet No. 2).

       Thrive is already on my to do list, I love their products!
       For nail products, anything on the actual nail is ok as it’s dead protein and can’t absorb anything, so all polishes and removers are actually ok as long as you use them in a ventilated area. There’s already a lot of cuticle products in the lists above.

       They’re both ok, but I hesitate a bit before saying use of colloidal silver is definitely safe. I just think about that guy in Kansas who turned himself blue, I would think that isn’t good for a baby.

       Bio-Oil is NOT pregnancy or nursing safe, it has a retinoid to avoid as well as a salicylate

       1-7 are not full ingredient lists, only partial lists. But I can tell you these things based on those lists:
       Avoid in both pregnancy and nursing:
       2: arbutin
       5: retinoid

       Avoid in pregnancy, not sure about nursing:
       3: glycolic acid
       6: glycolic acid
       7: Salicylic Acid

       Not sure about pregnancy or nursing:
       1, 4

       #8 is a full list, and that has chemical sunscreens. Looks ok for nursing but not pregnancy

       Unfortunately, nothing topical has ever been found to be helpful for stretch marks or prevention. Dermatologists typically recommend just massaging in some sort of moisturizer, any one that you want to use is fine. After pregnancy many of the usual anti-aging cream ingredients can help (retinoids especially), and later there are laser treatments if they’re really bad. I wish I could be more helpful!

           #1 has gluconolactone, which is a polyhydroxy acid, similar to a hydroxy acid but penetrates better into the skin. Info here on why sometimes brands and I disagree: pregnancy beauty FAQ, and some info here on hydroxy acids: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy Basically, we don’t have info but know they penetrate and we don’t trust them.

       #1 has hemp, licorice root and a form of salicylic acid
       I’m not comfortable saying hemp is fully safe in pregnancy or nursing, my reasoning is below and that’s up to you. The other 2 ingredients are ones I recommend avoiding in pregnancy for sure, but ok for 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.

       #2 has a few things that could be stem cells, but they aren’t always (not all brands label them the same), there’s discussion on that here and it’s up to you: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
       I don’t see any other ingredients to be concerned about there

       #1 avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to the kojic acid derivative (also malic acid to avoid in pregnancy)
       #2 avoid in pregnancy and nursing due to the kojic acid derivative (also glycolic acid to avoid in pregnancy)
       #3 looks ok for pregnancy and nursing
       #4 has chemical sunscreens and a salicylate, avoid in pregnancy but ok for nursing

       The list of what I used is obsolete now, everything is either no longer around or has been reformulated and not a single item was safe now. 🙁 I did a post on what drugstore products I would use if I was pregnant now, it was very recent and should still be valid! I should do one with products from Sephora/Dept stores

       You don’t need to worry about powders so I do NOT review those products for people. Info here:
       Pregnancy Safe Makeup

       I can’t tell if the fruit cell culture in the concealer is a stem cell or not, brands will label it the same. Regardless, there’s a retinoid so avoid in pregnancy for sure and if you’re conservative then while you’re nursing as well.

     Hi Doctor!

     Thank you so much for doing this. It really is quite helpful and provides such peace of mind.

     I was hoping you could look into Beverly Hills MD’s Age Defense Facial Sunscreen to see if it is pregnancy safe. My mom gave this to me because we thought it was safer than other sunscreens but now reading into all of the unsafe pregnancy products, I am worried I should stop using it. If there are any unsafe ingredients in this product, should I worry about any complications?

     The ingredients are:
     Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, 11% Zinc Oxide, 8% Inactive Ingredients: 1,2 Hexanediol, Aloe Barbadnesis Leaf Juice, Alumina, Aniba Rosaodora (Rosewood) Wood Extract, Beeswax, Butylene Glycol, Cmaellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Cetearyl Isononanoate, Cetearyl Nonanoate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Citrus Auranitum Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Extract, Coco-caprylate, Coriandrum Stivum (Coriander) Seed Extract, Decylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Glycerin, Hydrogeanted Castor OIl, Isopropyl Myristate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isostearic Acid, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower/Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Lecithin, Magnesium Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Plumeria Rubra Flower Extract, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Polyhydryoxysteatic Acid, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Romsarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Sccharide Isomerate, Sodium Chloride, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Triethyl Citrate, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Vibrio Alginolyticus Ferment Filtrate, Water, Exossine Exo-T (kopara)

     Hi thank you so much for this thoroughly informative blog. You saved my sanity during pregnancy! Now that I am breastfeeding, I was wondering if it is safe to use honey in skincare products. I know not to feed it to my five month old child, but I am worried that some may still get in his mouth. Can I use products such as hand cream containing honey while nursing?

       It should be fine because of the way they process most beauty products. I would be a little worried about the super “natural” brands if they use honey in large amounts.

       Unfortunately, neither of these ingredient lists are complete so I can not comment. Your comment likely went into the spam filter, I never saw it.
       BR is extremely difficult to review as there are almost no ingredient lists online from places that I would be able trust. I do have a list about half way done that I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks, but it is currently on hold as I am super busy on 3 projects for my real job. But it should be coming soonish.

       I am very confused by these lists. Products 2 and 3 in particular. The way they are broken up by ingredient type is not allowed in the US, things must be written in order of how much of something is in a product, and I’m concerned ingredients aren’t included here, so I won’t comment on product safety without full information. Product 1 looks like a full list, and that is fine for pregnancy and nursing

     Hello!!

     I am 23 weeks pregnant and just now realizing that I was supposed to be looking through my skincare while pregnant. I am on the hunt for safe products after realizing what I was using is not safe! It makes me want to change my products for good. Do you have a suggestion for the best pregnancy safe brand (skin care & makeup)? Also wondering how terrible it is that I did not change my skin care until week 23?

     Thanks for your input!

     Hi Doc,
     My baby is 2 years old, and still breastfeeds although I feel like it’s just for comfort since I don’t have much milk anymore. He only latches right before a nap and bedtime, til he falls asleep.
     Is it safe for me to already use a product with 2.5% retinol? And is it also safe to use a moisturizer with collagen?

     The product With retinol is TruSkin Super Serum, with;
     20% Vitamin C
     5% Hyaluronic Acid
     3.5% Niacimide
     2.5% Retinol

     The collagen moisturizer is :
     MayAnn’s Collagen Cream
     Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Caprylic/Capric Acid, Coconut, Jojoba, Retinol, Potassium Sorbate, Vitamin E, Purified Water

     Is it alright to already apply it to my skin at bed time after my baby goes to sleep?
     Thank you very much in advance.

       My explanation about retinoids in nursing are found here: https://www.15minutebeauty.com/skin-care-ingredients-avoid-nursing.html”
       But for about 2 years I’ve been saying to avoid retinoids in nursing as many other physicians are saying the same, but it’s not really based on new data instead it is more of a comfort level thing I think? It’s up to you how conservative you want to be. Both of these items have retinoids, and the TruSkin isn’t a full ingredient list so I don’t feel I can comment on it’s safety at all.

       If your hair product is not going on your scalp, like a conditioner that you only apply to the ends of your hair, you don’t need to worry about it. Your hair can’t absorb anything.

       It’s recommended to avoid NuFace and similar therapies while pregnant. The gel’s fine, but it’s worthless without the electric device.

     hi doc, I’m a little bit confuse here. so I just bought The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Sphere 2% (which is on your pregancy safe products) but I read somewhere that Vit C can’t be used with products that contain Sodium Benzoate because it’s carsinogen. meanwhile all of my body wash, facial wash, toner and moisturizer (all of them are on your pregnancy safe products list too) and since I’m now trying to conceive, I’m a little bit freaked out lol what do you think about it doc? thank you!

       Every combination ever has been implicated in everything, and often the links are even very strong (or in well done/powered studies). I’ve already screened out any ingredients or anything that I’m concerned about. If I was worried about it, I wouldn’t have screened something as safe.

       I’d look at a clay mask or a sonic cleansing brush like a Clarisonic. Unfortunately Clarisonic just went out of business and I haven’t identified a new brand to recommend like that, but the sonic action actually vibrated things out of the pores.

       There’s discussion on Bakuchiol in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
       I’m not so sure that it’s ok for pregnancy. I have a big problem with saying an ingredient “is just like a retinoid and works just like it” but then claiming it is safe without any evidence of safety. So, I’ve been screening it out like a retinoid, which if you’re conservative should be avoided in nursing as well as pregnancy.

       This cleanser looks ok for pregnancy and nursing

       Your nails can’t absorb anything (they’re dead proteins and pretty good barriers), but I would worry much more about the fumes as things are being applied and removed. Be sure you’re in a well ventilated area.

       It’s ok for your skin, but I wouldn’t use anything for padcicles that isn’t safe for baby to be ingesting, unless you’re planning to actually wash your nipples with soap and water after use. With the extracts, I would avoid this for that use. I had small reusable plastic ones that I could put in the freezer, like these ones. But, the cold actually made my nipples hurt more.

         Danielle said:

         Thanks! The padcicles are actually not for the breasts – sorry, I should have been more specific – they’re maxi pads for recovery after a vaginal birth, that you coat with a bunch of aloe, some alcohol-free witch hazel, and a couple/few drops of lavender or calendula oil – then you freeze them, and when ready to use, take one out, let it thaw for a few minutes and put it on. They’re supposed to be great apparently – haha I’m a first-time mom so I have no idea yet but was going to give this a try.

         This aloe (above) already has the lavender in it, so I was thinking of going with that, as it’s one of the only aloes I was able to find that seems to really just be mostly aloe and ingredients I’ve heard of/no sketchy ingredients. All in all, does this sound like a decent plan? Alternatively, if there’s a simpler and safer way to do this with fewer ingredients, I’m definitely open to that – like maybe just the aloe and witch hazel and no essential oils?

           OH! I was so in the nursing thinking. People make pads for their nipples too, and I’ve heard those called padsicles too.

           It should be fine for down there. However, I do have to say that things are irritated (and often healing wounds, if you’ve been stitched close), and the fewer ingredients the better (just aloe and witch hazel is better). They don’t tend to stay cold for super long. I’d look into something like this, where you refill the ice, put over your panties so they don’t get dirty. I thought this worked better for helping with pain.

     Dear doctor,
     I wonder those kind of placenta ingredients (form pig, horse) are ok for prenancy and nursing?
     I’m using serum Fracora’s White’st Placenta Extract Serum with ingredients:
     Water, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Placenta Extract

     This is full ingredients, not a short list because they said their product contains almost pure placenta extract.
     Could you please check and advice me?

     Many thanks and appreciate your effort !

       I wasn’t sure about that one either initially (you’ll notice I call out a somewhat similar ingredient, Snail Secretion, regularly). I spoke to a lot of OBs and Derms about their opinions about 2 years ago or so and they all felt it was ok. If it makes you worried, I would just avoid it. Skincare isn’t worth losing sleep over!

       They’re fine, you only apply them to the hair shaft (not your scalp) and as your hair can’t absorb anything there’s no concern.

     Hi,

     Thank you for all this research. I have a question about a 2 products: 1. Shampoo that contains horsetail extract and horsetail extract.
     2. Face wash that contains licorice root extract. I see you call it out as not safe in other products, but wondering if it is okay since the wash is on my face for all of 30 seconds.
     Thanks in advance!

       I don’t have particular concerns about horsetail extract, but can’t call a product safe without seeing a full ingredient list.
       It doesn’t really matter how long a product is on the skin, most face washes for example are formulated to leave a bit of their active ingredients behind to work on the skin. I wouldn’t call a face wash with licorice root safe.

       Looks good to me! I use this as a spot treatment (my eczema flares on my scalp when I’m having allergy issues), just on the itchy spot and I leave it there for 4-5 minutes while I shower, shave, etc. I don’t wash all of my hair with it, it strips out my hair color if I do.

     Dear Doctor,

     I am currently 35, going on 36 weeks of pregnancy. So far I have been able to ward off pre-birth stretch marks on my tummy (I am sure they will come!), but I have developed quite a few stretch marks on my thighs and derriere due to weight gain.

     The main product I have been using is the Palmer’s Stretch Mark Lotion on your pregnancy safe list, but I would really appreciate your advice: do you recommend anything stronger to reverse or minimize the stretch marks after birth while nursing? Products, patches, etc…?

     Thank you so much in advance! Very grateful!

       Unfortunately nothing topical has been found to work in studies. If they’re really bad later after everything settles down (a few years post-partum) you can see a cosmetic dermatologist about having them lasered.

       This has a retinoid. Avoid in pregnancy and in nursing if you’re conservative
       It also usually has Salicylic Acid as an active ingredient, but that is likely listed separately as I don’t see it here

       My list is conservative for a physician, and our info is conflicting because it isn’t based on real data, more on what we know about absorption of these ingredients and which ones we think *could* cause issues. Performing the studies we really need to prove if something is safe or not is unethical, so we’ll never really have that info. This is also why we say it’s just X ingredient, rather than X ingredient under 2% concentration for example. We don’t have that info at all, and saying you’re worried enough about an ingredient at a higher %, but you don’t really know if something is safe under that amount…. Anyways, there’s not a lot of info out there!
       Some of these thoughts are in each ingredient here:
       https://www.15minutebeauty.com/pregnancy-skin-care-ingredients-avoid.html

       For these products, these are my opinions:
       #5 is the only one safe for pregnancy and nursing

       Ok for nursing but not pregnancy:
       1- Mandelic Acid, Licorice Root
       2- Benzoyl Peroxide
       3- Chemical sunscreen, licorice root

       4- Says “micellized Vitamin A” which is FDA non-compliant, they need to be more specific with what chemical they have in there. I can’t comment on the safety.

       That’s the longest ingredient list I’ve ever seen. I honestly wonder if there’s enough of any ingredient to actually do it’s job? It’s like they put everything possible in 1 product. It does have gluconolactone, so I wouldn’t use while pregnant but it’s fine for nursing.

       The B5 gel is ok for pregnancy and nursing

           All of this looks ok, but I’m a little concerned about the neuropeptide (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate). It’s usually meant to penetrate and affect how the nerves and muscles are interacting, so wrinkles will be less apparent. There are obviously similar chemicals that your body produces to do the same thing, but those stay local and only are active for a very short time (think well under a second in general). The artificial ones in products are much longer acting. We don’t have info to specifically avoid them, but when I recognize them in a product I try to bring it up, because they make me a bit nervous. It’s really up to your comfort level though.
