If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, have you thought about your beauty products? Not all skincare and makeup is safe to use for pregnancy. And truly, who wants to spend hours researching which ingredients you should avoid in your skincare if you are pregnant? Is it safe to use your favorite retinol serum or what about benzoyl peroxide to treat your hormone related blemishes?
When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a major anxiety moment over my beauty products. I was a doctor and reading all of the ingredient lists and learning which ones I needed to avoid was very intimidating! I wrote a few posts about the process, readers started asking questions, and over the years pregnancy safe beauty products grew into more and more posts on 15 Minute Beauty. I’ve tried to take the entire process and make it much easier for my readers.
Where to Start: READ THIS FIRST
First, I recommend starting with my Pregnancy Skincare eBook. Yes, you need to subscribe to my newsletter to get it, but it is otherwise free! I promise, I don’t email often, and when I do it is with helpful pregnancy beauty updates. The eBook describes my approach to pregnancy skincare, why I think you need a “core” of products that you use throughout your pregnancy.
Please also check out the “hub” of the pregnancy beauty safety posts, my Pregnancy Skincare Guide. This is where you will find links to most of the posts. If you are going to bookmark a page, that’s the one to bookmark!
Other available lists of pregnancy safe products and information to check out:
• Pregnancy safe foundations, concealers, mists and makeup settings sprays, foundation primers
• Face sunscreen, body sunscreen
• Lotions with SPF
• Lash Serums
• Makeup to worry about (pro tip: not powders, mascara or some other types)
• Perfume during pregnancy
• Nail Polish during pregnancy
• Sunless Tanners during pregnancy
Note, there are product types that you don’t need to worry about and that I will not review. This includes some makeup, sunless tanners and some hair products.
The Brand Lists
Please read How to Use the Pregnancy and Nursing Safety Brand Lists, and here is How to Ask About Product Safety.
If your brand is listed, you need to ask on that brand page. I will NOT answer questions about these brands on this page, those comments will be deleted. Please read this: How to ask about product safety, I am picky about this for a reason. I need your full ingredient list, I will not follow a link. Please be polite enough to read how to do this, and refrain from sending me rude emails if you can’t follow the directions.

Hi Doctor,
I’m not sure what happened to my post, I couldn’t find it anymore? Maybe my internet was not working good yesterday.
Could I ask you again if pregnant woman need to worry about hand-soap? I’m think to purchase some hand-soaps from Bath &Body works? I can’t provide the ingredients due to there are so many variety scents of hand-soap? Just wondering if you can help me out? Thanks in advance!
Bath and Body works has so many scents, all of which are different and change almost weekly, that I will not review them in a full post. I have tried and everything turns over almost immediately, making weeks of my time worthless. You can ask about specific scents if you have an ingredient list, but I will not make a post for them.
Hi Doctor,
Thank you for your reply. I searched one scent I like. Could you help me to review this hand soap ingredient. I’m appreciated.

This has a chemical sunscreen (Benzophenone-4,), so ok for nursing but not pregnancy
Thank you Doctor. I never thought about hand soap would be included chemical sunscreen ingredient. I’m so glad that I found your website. 🙏
Do you have any hand soap you can recommend for me?
Off hand, I don’t. I think there are some included in the various brand lists. I’m sorry!
There are a lot of brands that include chemical sunscreens (without testing for SPF) to prolong shelf life.
Dear Doctor,
Thank you for your speedy reply. You are so nice.
Since there a lot of brands that includes sunscreen ingredient to prolong self life. Should pregnant women be careful of it as the hand soap? Or it doesn’t matter since it will be rinsed out by water?
Typically they leave a film on your hands so I would still worry about it
Thank you for your valued researched! Much appreciated! 🙏😘🌹

Hello,
Hope all is well with you. Sorry to bother you, but I seem to not be able to see any comments older that 12.5.20. I have posted a question here about 4 lancome products and was hoping to find an answer here, but can’t see any older comments, neither from PC nor my phone, they seem to just have disappeared. 🙁 any chance you could repost it? sorry for the trouble.
Thank you,
Jelena
I don’t allow questions about products from brands that I’ve reviewed outside of their own brand pages. They clutter up other pages, and if it’s a question that someone else has later people can find it more easily on the brand’s page. I have also spent untold number of hours reviewing many brands, including Lancome which is linked above. All of this is covered in the page how to ask about product safety, which is linked above. You asked here, instead of on the Lancome page, which is already in the alphabetized list.
Hello,
Sorry about that, I will ask the question on the Lancome page.
Thank you,
Jelena

Dermaroller Mask-Intensive Hyaluronic Moisturizer
https://dermarollerclinics.com/product/mask/
Ingredients:
Matrixyl®
A patented peptide combination based on anti-aging research and can be considered a miracle treatment to prevent skin aging. Peptide increases the production of the skin’s own collagen and hyaluronic acid. Improves the elasticity and tone of the skin and helps smooth out wrinkles.
Protects against the harmful effects of UV.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Smooths the skin surface texture and improves the moisture retention capacity of the skin. Increases the enzyme activity of the skin and protects against oxidation damage caused by UV radiation (free radicals). Supports cell protection and stimulates tissue repair. Protects against premature aging.
Hyaluronic Acid
Binds moisture in the outermost skin layer and releases the stored moisture after several hours to maintain this effect for a long period of time. Increases the firmness of the tissue and smooths the skin. Small wrinkles are diminished and a skin-toning effect is created.

Comments enter moderation and don’t appear on the site until I approve them (I get thousands of spam comments A DAY, this is the only way to avoid them). You first commented on the 2nd, I answered you here. You then commented about 45 minutes before this post, about the same product as your first comment. I have the 3 comments total from you, unless something went to the spam filter.
oops. im really sorry. Not used to doing comments on websites so didnt know what i was doing. sorry about that and thanks for your help!
It’s ok, but now you know your product is safe 🙂
Good Morning Doctor,

The shampoo is fine for pregnancy and nursing.
The conditioner has gluconolactone to avoid in pregnancy, but since you’re only applying to the end of your hair (which can’t absorb anything) you shouldn’t worry about it. Just don’t apply to your scalp.
Got it, thank you! One more question. Since I obviously use my hands to apply the conditioner and rub it in to the ends of my hair is that ok? Or better to be safe and use a different conditioner?
Should be ok. At some point we’re all way over thinking all of this. Technically per my discussions with derms and OBs even worrying about any hair stuff at all is way over thinking it, I just worry about the stuff that’s actually on the scalp.

This has a retinoid, Avoid in pregnancy and in nursing if you’re conservative
Most of the more “proven” ingredients (esp the retinoid and the peptides) are all at the bottom of an extremely long ingredient list, WAY later than any preservatives. I’m not sure there’s enough to make a big difference.

I won’t comment on 4 (I don’t review dental products) or 5 (as I require a full ingredient list)
Thank you for prompt reply!
For Disinfecting hand gels, that I am using (Europe), unfortunately the only ingredient they specify on bottles is Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5).
I was wondering if Ethanol itself might not be safe during pregnancy and better be avoided (maybe starting from certain concentration %).
Thank you for your great website and support!
Ethanol itself is ok and necessary for it to work. But typically it’s around 70% to kill viruses, and it is not the only ingredient. I don’t comment on products without a full list, as they may be elaving out ingredients that are not safe. I can’t take responsibility without that information.
Thank you, Christine!
I agree, thus I found disinfecting gels where can see full ingredient list.
Could you please be so kind to advise if these would be safe to use during pregnancy?

Hi. I do not see the brand Hello Body. It’s a big brand with influencers. Can you please let me know the safety of these products. Specifically the body scrubs, body butter, serums, gel face wash, lip products, masks…
I’ll add the brand to my to do list. I’ve never heard of it before.
Thanks! How will I know when it’s available:)
You’ll need to just watch the website. I have about 50 brands on my list and I work full time, very busy with CoVID patients.
Hi Dr, I’m wondering what your thoughts are of Benzyl Salicylate in a scalp scrub please? I usually thoroughly scrub my scalp and let sit for 2 mins and rinse clean. Is this ok? Please find the full ingredient list of this Christophe Robin Salt Scrub that has helped my scalp during pregnancy:
Sodium Chloride, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Water, Butylene Glycol, Cocamide Mea, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Saccharide Isomerate, Hydrated Silica, Bisabolol, Menthyl Lactate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Evernia Furfuracea (Tree Moss) Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate.
Salicylate is something that should be avoided in pregnancy and I screen for it in products. This is ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
Thank you so much!

Hello,
Would you please review the Vow Brow Eyebrow Pencil from the brand called “ROEN BEAUTY”? Ingredients are:
Diisostearyl Malate, Triethylhexanoin, C20-40 Acid, Synthetic Wax, C20-40 Alcohols, Polyethylene, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate, Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer, Ethylcellulose, Boron Nitride, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Mica (CI 77019), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).
Thank you!
This is fine, but you typically don’t need to worry about eyebrow pencils. They’re a wax that creates a layer that sits on the skin and is almost impossible to absorb, very similar to eyeliners. More info here: Pregnancy Safe Makeup
Can you add Elf and Naturium from Susan Yara products to this list. Please. Thank you.
Those are already on my to do list
I apologize if this has already been asked but I’m curious about the safety of lash glues. Specifically

Hi, Doctor.
I’m looking for a substitute firming soap or lotion for Mustela firming gel since it is quite expensive.
My pre-pregnancy soap was Gluta White and Firm Soap but I stopped using it when I got pregnant.
May I ask for your help if this is okay to use while nursing:
Ingredients:
Palm Oil, Pelm Kernel Oil, Tetrasodium EDTA, CI
77891, Bioflavonoids, Algae, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Centella Asiatica, Carnitine, Tea Salicylate, D-Panthenol, Claire Blanche, L-Carnitine, L-Tartrate, Glutathione, Fragrane.
for centella asiatica – I know this is safe but for the other ingredients like algae extract i’m worried that it will be like as sage extract the may affect the milk supply of the mother. Clair Blanche is a whitening complex composed of extracts of peony, scutellaria, and saxifraga flowers, glutathione, Arbutin, Kojic Acid, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine.
I am planning to use the soap just for the legs and thighs since I get fatty legs full of cellulite when I got pregnant.
Secondly, I just want to ask question for palmer’s cocoa butter firming lotion – is it also safe while nursing? because on its page it is only belong on pregnancy safe category. Just checking with you since when I read the ingredients, panax ginseng extract, does it affect milk supply?
is it safe to use only on concentrated areas like tummy, legs and thighs? please advise.
Apologizing for the long message.
You need to avoid arbutin and kojic acid while pregnant and nursing.
Everything listed as pregnancy safe is also fine for nursing. Topical use of extracts and such is not enough to worry about milk supply.
Thank you so much Doctor for your response. Will do what you have advised. Stay Safe! Thank you so much for your website.

Hello! I am a new mom and found your site absolutely priceless throughout my entire pregnancy! So first off, THANK YOU! I am now nursing, and while I love the sections specific to that, I just want to clarify that anything listed as “Safe for Pregnancy” is also “Safe for Nursing” — is that correct? I might just be being paranoid, but wanted to confirm before assuming 🙂
Thanks again!

Hi, I’ve just come across your site and am so impressed with all the information you’ve shared.
I have a question about a specific ingredient that I am unsure about: candelilla wax.
I have tried to research it myself but can find no useful information. Everything I have read says that ‘pregnant and nursing women, and those with sensitive skin, are advised not to use Candelilla Wax without the advice of their medical professional’.
But nothing further explains why! I’ve asked my obstetrician about it and he had no clue why either.
Is this something you could maybe help with? Or would it be better to just avoid it until my pregnancy ends?
Thanks so much!

1-3 aren’t complete lists, they just say they’re 60-70% alcohol, but none of your % add up to 100%.
I don’t review nail products as you don’t need to worry about them- your nails are very thick and don’t absorb anything. Just use them in a well ventilated space.
Thank you for the reply!

Can you explain why Phenoxyethanol, Ceteareth-20 are considered safe? I’ve read that they can lead to reproductive issues and damage to an underdeveloped fetus and should be avoided for pregnant of breastfeeding women. Thank you!
There is not enough information out there to cause concern in the medical community. There are websites that look at some evidence and reach very different conclusions than the study authors do even, this is one of the reasons a lot of the medical community doesn’t like the EWG for example. You can find websites that dislike every single ingredient out there.

THANK YOU!!!
Both the foundation, blush stick and contour stick have a cell culture in it. I’m not sure if that’s stem cells or not (sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on the brand). My concerns about stem cells are in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. All 3 are otherwise ok for pregnancy and nursing
The highlighter doesn’t have that ingredient and is fine for pregnancy and nursing
Thank you so much for the research you’ve done to make this list. It has helped me out so much during my pregnancy.
I was also wondering if you wanted to review a brand called Alima Pure. I think they are considered a clean brand and they have minimal ingredients for all their products.
There are a couple cream blushes of theirs that I wanted to use on my lips. Based on the ingredients, do you think this is safe?
Bijou: Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride (coconut derived), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Squalane (oliver derived), Silica, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Powder, Tocopherol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil [+/- CI 77742, CI 77891, CI 77491]
Blossom: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Squalane, Silica, Oryza (Rice) Sativa Powder,Tocopherol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil [+/- CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxide), CI 45410 (Red 27 Lake)]
Here is a link to their site, where the cream blushes are.

the brand is huge and has crazy turn over. By the time I finish they often update their ingredient lists or discontinue products and put out new ones. I’ve given up trying. You’re maybe the 3rd or 4th person ever to ask about them, not many of my readers seem to be using them.
This product looks fine for pregnancy and nursing

Hi, thank you for this great service. Please could you let me know your thoughts on this product “v-tox” by Linda Meredith skincare. The product is described as pregnancy safe on the website but also marked as containing vitamin a which is causing me confusion.
I have also read on different websites that propylene glycol should be avoided during pregnancy?
Thank you
Aqua, cyclopentasiloxane, propylene glycol, cetearyl ethylhexanoate, polymethl methacrylate, polysilicone-11, aminobutyric acid, barium sulfate, potassium cetyl phosphate, c12-16 alcohols, cetearyl alcohol, sodium cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, Palmitic acid, phenoxyethanol, ceteareth-20, hydrogenated lecithin, glyceryl behenate, caprylyl glycol, portulaca oleracea extract, centella asiatica extract, Panax ginseng root extract, isohexadecane, ammonium polacryloyldimethyl taurate, polysorbate 80, sodium benzoate, behenic acid, Sorbic acid, tripleurospermum maritimum extract.
The vitamin A must be in one of the extracts, brands like to call that out sometimes, but it isn’t something to worry about if in an extract. To me this looks fine for pregnancy and nursing.
Propylene glycol is one of those that I’m not worried about. ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy
Thank you! Yes, I think the vitamin a is in the portulaca oleracea extract. That’s good to know it’s safe!

Hello!

I also saw on one of your posts that you use the ponds wet towelettes on lazy days (which now I have all the time 😂) I wanted to see if those were pregnancy safe as well but I can’t find an ingredient list 🙁 I think I’m confusing them with make up wipes
This looks ok for pregnancy and nursing. The pond’s I liked the most were discontinued, I haven’t found another I like as much 🙁
Hi there, I am really finding your blog incredibly helpful. How can I tell if a product ingredient is a hydroxy acid? You mention that all of they hydroxy acids, alpha, beta and poly, have pregnancy categories that recommend avoidance. So how can I tell if Isostearic Acid or Polyhydroxystearic Acid are not hydroxy acids? They are in so many of the foundations. Many thanks for your help in advance, Alisa
There’s only a few actual hydroxy acids, neither of those are them. Glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and gluconolactone are all hydroxy acids, but you don’t need to worry about lactic acid.
Thanks so much. Are glycolic acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid and gluconolactone the only hydroxy acids to look out for? What about Linoleic Acid? It’s in the Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 hour foundation by Smashbox that you’ve already reviewed but I know the brand changes it’s formulation frequently and I believe you may have reviewed it a couple years ago. Here are the ingredients:
Smashbox Studio Skin Full Coverage 24 Hour Foundation Ingredients:
Isododecane, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Isohexadecane, Petrolatum, Glyceryl Stearate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Hydrogenated Styrene/ Isoprene Copolymer, Microcrystalline Wax\Cera Microcristallina\Cire Microcristalline, Kaolin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Powder, Glycerin, Cholesterol, Bisabolol, Linoleic Acid, Polyethylene, Silica, Propylene Carbonate, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, BHT, [+/- Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288)].
Yes, those are the ones to worry about. Linoleic Acid isn’t an acid like you think of, it’s a fatty acid already found in your body. Info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid
This product is still fine for pregnancy and nursing.
Ah, thank you so much! You also said my La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser is okay and it has myristic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid in it. I wasn’t sure if these acids were okay either but since you said the ingredients are okay, they must be part of the “good” bunch of acids. 🙂 🙂 So confusing with all the acids!
They’re not hydroxy acids either. A lot of things are labelled as acid but aren’t ones to worry about 🙂
Hi doctor, is this product pregnancy safe?

Hi Dr,
Does retinol palmitate count as a retinol? I noticed it in this product and had thought it was one to avoid. Thank you
Ack! I remind you that i’m human too. Yes, you’re absolutely right. #2 has a retinoid, I’m going to edit my comment (made while I was drinking my coffee this am), avoid in pregnancy and while nursing if you’re conservative.

THANK YOU!!!
There are no safe sunless tanners and I do not review them.
Thank you for your quick response Dr. Christine!
Even though you have reviews on your blog you do not review them? https://www.15minutebeauty.com/best-sunless-tanners-pale-skin.html/
I just want to make sure that I am understanding correctly so I do what is best. You are saying there are no safe sunless tanners specifically for pregnancy? Or in general, avoid sunless tanners for everyone?
You would advise to avoid sunless tanners completely during pregnancy and nursing, correct?
Thank you so much for your valuable time, I know you are incredibly busy!
My entire blog is NOT pregnancy beauty. This is a regular beauty blog that happens to have pregnancy products. That post is about sunless tanners in general.
I’ve added some reviews here and there because even though I will state on a brand page that it isn’t safe, people don’t actually read the posts. I can have entire paragraphs in bold and people do not read them. Sunless tanners are not felt to be safe while pregnant (info here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy) and it could be argued that it applies to nursing as well as just in general. It’s actually something that comes up at dermatology conferences, are they at all safe? The general consensus is that it’s better than sun exposure, but not the safest thing due to the systemic absorption, even when not pregnant.
I have this post about alternatives: pregnancy safe body bronzers and makeup.
Thank you so much! Love the details and thank you for giving alternatives with the body bronzers and makeup article. For some reason that article did not come up in my search. You’re the best!
