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.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty as of 12/19/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. 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!
What about their BB cream, acne pads and microdermabrasion scrub? Thank you!
Unfortunately not all of the products have had full ingredients released. I just added the products that have had full ingredients released since my last review. But I can’t answer without ingredients.
Hi Christine,
What about the lip plump without the SPF? Thanks!!
As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list. Thanks!

The Sun Shield I can’t review as the ingredient list is not complete (it’s this way on the website also), it’s missing the inactive ingredients.
Hi, they just came out with a new product: VITAMIN C+E ERGOTHIONEINE ANTIOXIDANT SERUM and I cross checked the main ingredients but don’t see anything popping out for pregnancy or nursing. I requested their full ingredient list (below) can you please confirm it is safe?

It’s a mascara, which you don’t need to worry about and therefore I do not review. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post.
