Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Glo Skin Beauty as of 2/29/2020. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Please refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, etc.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about Glo Skin Beauty on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

Not Safe for Pregnancy or Nursing
Note I’m including products with retinoids here, as those are a bit iffy. It depends on how conservative you want to be while nursing (still absolutely contraindicated while pregnant). Refer to my post on ingredients to avoid while nursing for more discussion. Due to lack of information about Bakuchiol (but continual marketing from brands that it is “just like a retinoid”), I’m currently screening that as a retinoid.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!
Hi can I check whether this ampoule jet is suitable for nursing ?

Looks ok
Are powders still safe even if they have a retinol in them, such as the pressed base (powder) from Glo?

It’s so highly unlikely that anything from a powder would absorb that I wouldn’t worry about it myself. But if it is going to keep you up at night then I wouldn’t use it.
Hi there!
Your posts are so helpful. How kind of you to share all of your research.
Do you know if the vitamin C serums are safe from glo?
I have used them for years but can’t seem to find out for sure.
Thank you so much!
