Pregnancy Safe Products from Living Proof

Pregnancy Safe Products from Living Proof

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 Living Proof as of 1/16/2024. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

Note, in my 1/2024 review Living Proof had added ingredient lists for their fragrance. 

  • Most brands list this as “fragrance”, but they’ve started listing the ingredients of that fragrance.
  • In all of my discussions with other physicians, it’s always been easily agreed upon that “fragrance” isn’t something to be avoided, although it’s something that women can easily have a sensitivity issue to, especially while pregnant. But, when fragrance/parfum is listed, I screen that as safe.
  • However, with this additional info, many of the fragrance lists have salicylate, which is something I’ve always included on my “avoid in pregnancy” list. This created a problem. It’s in the fragrance. But I screen the fragrance as safe. But now I know exactly what is in the fragrance. And suddenly almost the entire brand should be avoided in pregnancy… Is this new information actually helpful?
  • I decided to continue to screen out salicylate even when it is in the fragrance, but if you feel comfortable having it in the fragrance (which is likely the case for all other brands), then look at the ingredient list yourself. If the salicylate is just in the fragrance you can make this decision for yourself.
  • Also keep in mind that you don’t need to worry about products that aren’t near your scalp, read more in this discussion: Hair products to worry about

    Good afternoon! I saw your note about not needing to worry about products that don’t sit on your hair for an extended period of time.

    Do you happen to know if the ingredients in this hair mask, which requires leaving on roots for 5 minutes are safe for pregnancy?

    Hi Doc,

    Would you please advise if the following conditioners are pregnancy/nursing safe? I usually apply lighter conditioners like these near the roots of my hair and leave on for a few minutes (then hair masks towards mid to ends). If I’m not scrubbing them into my scalp, do I still need to worry aboout them?

    Living Proof No Frizz Conditioner:
    Ingredients: Water/Eau/Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Octafluoropentyl Methacrylate (OFPMA), Behentrimonium Chloride, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Citric Acid, Quaternium-87, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Fragrance/Parfum, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Magnesium Nitrate, Magnesium Chloride.

    Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner:
    Ingredients: Water/Eau/Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Octafluoropentyl Methacrylate (OFPMA), Cetyl Alcohol, Quaternium-87, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Ethylhexanoate, Behenyl/Stearyl Aminopropanediol Esters, Linoleamidopropyl Dimethylamine Dimer Dilinoleate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum, Steareth-2, Steareth-10, Fragrance/Parfum, Citric Acid, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Magnesium Nitrate, Magnesium Chloride.

    Question: Would leave in conditioners in cream or spray form count as risky? I figure at least the spray ones may get onto the scalp? Sorry for being paranoid… preggo with my rainbow baby so being as careful as I can. Thank you!

      Christine said:

      These are both fine
      It really depends on how closely to the scalp you’re trying to apply. An inch or two away is likely fine, but closer is likely to get on the scalp.

        Thank you very much Dr for all your prompt kind replies.

        Noted. It’s just my hair at the front (fringe line) is very fine (thin), you can literally see my scalp. So, that’s why I asked as I’m concerned, while styling, it may be applied a tiny bit to a scalp (accidentally) only because the hair is so thin.
