Pregnancy safe skincare 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 Jurlique as of 9/7/2019. 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.
I do want to make a note about the essential oils and the blends. In theory, these are safe blends, but you shouldn’t go overboard. Dab a little tea tree oil on a pimple, but don’t cover your whole body with one of the blends. Large amounts of essential oils can be problematic. I’ve treated kids in my ICU due to essential oils, and lavender can act similarly to estrogen in large amounts. So, don’t overdo it!
Please note, it can take up to an hour to review the ingredient lists of each product. I review with my own list of pregnancy safe criteria. I obtain my ingredient lists from the brands and major retailers (typically Nordstrom and Sephora), and I review the US versions. Please do not ask me to re-review the same products over and over, I do not have the time to do so, and many people have been rude about this. For more brands, please head over to the list of pregnancy safe products.

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.
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.

January 4, 2020 at 3:24 pmSorry, this has a retinoid. I would avoid it while pregnant for sure and while nursing if you’re conservative.

March 9, 2020 at 1:39 pmHi there,
I’m a HUGE fan of your blog and wanted to say a big THANK YOU for all the time and effort you’ve dedicated to help moms everywhere.
I have a question about which I’ve done a lot of research and cannot find a clear answer. Can I use essential oils (blended in a carrier oil) during pregnancy, as a facial oil? I make my own face oil which I love, and it’s made of 2-3 carriers oils and a whole lot of essentials oils (ingredients below) and I’m wondering if any/all are toxic and/or if the oil is too strong, especially in the first trimester.
Ingredients: Carrier Oils: pure Vitamin E, Rosehip, Coconut oil. Approximately 1/4 cup each. Mixed well. I have also added around 2 tablespoons of Baobab oil, Marula Oil and Cacay Oil.
Essential oils (of which I use between 10-15 drops of each into the carrier solution): Ylang Ylang, lavender, geranium, clary sage, jasmine, frankincense, rose, sandalwood, lemon, helichrysum, carrot seed. There are also small amounts of palmarosa, abyssinian oil, raspberry seed oil, blue chamomile, Angelica root, and immortelle.
I use primarily Young Living essential oils, but carrier oils are from various brands, typically all pure.
I’m so confused and your help would be much appreciated. As you can imagine, I can’t find information on my specific question and product anywhere else!

March 9, 2020 at 7:49 pmI touch on essential oils already in this post: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
All of those should be fine, but be careful of additives in the oils as sometimes those aren’t safe.
