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 Hydropeptide as of 5/2/2020. 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.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

Hi Christine!
Thank you so much for this priceless source of information!
If i may please a question about Hydropeptide products.
I was gonna to buy Cashmere Cleanse
Facial Rose Milk, but spotted in the full ingredients list – phenoxyethanol. Internet says both it’s safe an not safe during the pregnancy. I am confused.
Here is full ingredients list:
Water, Isopropyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Isohexadecane, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Steareth-2, Steareth-21, Xanthan Gum, Citronellol, Jojoba Esters, Geraniol, Benzyl Alcohol, Allantoin, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, Bisabolol, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citral, Fragrance, Linalool, Centella Asiatica Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycolipids, Soybean Phytosterols.
Thank you for your help in advance!
It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy, and there’s a bit of discussion here in particular: ingredients I’m not worried about during pregnancy
Thank you very much for your reply, Christine!
All the best!
