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 every pregnancy safe product from L’Occitane as of 7/20/2019. 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.
Please Note: This list was made with the US websites for first L’Occitane and then Sephora. Note that L’Occitane has quite a few products without ingredient lists on their site, and Sephora did have some, but not all, of those products. I am more than happy to review your product, but know that I did not leave your product off of the list on purpose, I may not have had an ingredient list available to review. I am still actively hunting for full ingredient lists.
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 Hemp does not have THC in it, it’s breed out of the plant basically. 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.
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 doctor,
I don’t see these two on your list-
What are your thoughts on these?

Hi doctor,
Your blog is so helpful and Thanks a lot for all the information. I have searched for aveda products safe during pregnancy but I couldn’t find them. What do you think about aveda makeup and hair products?. I am getting my hair and makeup done for special event and my stylist is using the aveda products. Can you please help me with this.
You don’t need to worry about hair products. I didn’t even know they had makeup

Hi Doctor! I have been so happy to find your comprehensive list today! It’s immensely helpful!! I went and got some items from L’Occitane today and revived a free gift with an item that doesn’t appear to be on your list.

Hello,
I just wanted to point out that some products listed under the “safe list” actually contain ingredients that are not safe to be used during pregnancy. For example, the L’Occitane Shea Light Comforting Cream, Shea Butter Ultra Comforting Cream, and several other facial moisturizers, contact benzyl benzoate. It should be avoided during pregnancy or nursing.
Benzyl Benzoate is thought to be safe by the medical community. Please refer to my post on skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy to see what I screen out.
Hello,
I am in love with your blog..and I went through all the brand in your website, I found out many brands I’m using is not good for pregnancy…I’m so lost now…do you have any chance knowning Brand guerlain? I really want to know if this brand have any good products can be used on pregnancy…. anything….I hope u can see this…wish you luck in your life
I know Guerlain, but haven’t reviewed their product line, sorry!
Loccitane website has a note saying that all products are made with essential oils and therefore not recommended during pregnancy, except for the shea butter.
Could you please confirm if the products listed here as safe are actually safe?
Thank you very!
I have a note here about essential oils. They’re safe in moderation.
